allowing the user to add a command button

[marmono]

hello, I am an extreme novice and was wondering if anyone has an answer for me I cant seem to find in any of my books.

what I want to do:

-Allow the user to Name and create his/her own command buttons within the application

My question is what lines of code do you think I would find helpful?

to be more specific:

I have an "OK" button on one form, I want the action of this button to be "create another command button on a ANOTHER form that the user can drag around that performs a totally separte action (which is add some numbers together)

If you need any more specifics post and Ill give more detail, thanks for reading

hi

i know how to create another object on the same form.
try this
note that you can only use it once, or you need to change the commandbutton's name !

 
Dim ctlName As Control
Set ctlName = frmMain.Controls.Add("VB.CommandButton", "Command2", Form1)
With ctlName
.Visible = True
.Caption = "New button"
.Move 400, 400, 1400, 480
End With

hi another thing
if you create a new button, there is no code behind it, so you can't expect any action when pressed.

might be better if you pre-created a non visible button (with code) and make it visible
