Add new control at runtime and assign events

[Drstein99]

I can create a textbox and assign the control at runtime, and retrieve data with no problem.

 

Is there a way I can assign one of my functions in my code at designtime as the event handler for the new control at runtime?

 

In other words, I want to create a data validation keypress event, at designtime, and at runtime create a textbox and assign it's keypress event to the one in the module. Please help, thanks.

Look into the AddHandler keyword. It will add a handler for an event for a control at runtime.

AddHandler object.event, AddressOf  methodtobethehandler

I checked it out and the vb.net help was descriptive enough to help me solve my issue (surprisingly). Thanks for the point in the right direction, it solved my issue - case closed!

Retrieving the value of a textbox would assumbably be done using the .Text property which is not an event but a property. Adding a click event is reasonably simple, and there is already an example of how this is achieved in VB.Net
