Create ListBox programatically

[juing]

Hi Guys,

is it possible to create an instance of ListBox programatically?
Actually I have two issues here:

1.)
When I type this line in Access 2003:

Dim tmpList As ListBox
Set tmpList = New ListBox

Access' run-time compiler changes the "ListBox" name to "listbox" (lowercase):

Dim tmpList As listbox
Set tmpList = New listbox

2.)
When the second line is executed the tmpList remains set to "nothing".

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot.

To the best of my knowledge the The New keyword can't be used to declare instances of dependent Objects. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I want to create instance of the ListBox class for temporary purposes.
What are dependent Objects ?

I temporarily solved this by adding ListBox component to one of my forms and made it invisible. And I use its object as a temporary listbox for storing data.

In the case of a ListBox, it is essentially dependent of the Form on which it is contained. I'm referring to a Parent Object.

P.S. - You can also create a ListBox programmatically via the CreateControl() Method. This will basically be a New ListBox altogether and not a New Instance of the ListBox Class.
