Adding Dynamic Controls with VB.Net

The following code shows how to dynamically add a control to a form in VB.Net.  In this case, a multiline textbox is added, some settings for ScrollBars and CharacterCasing are adjusted, and the textbox is set to call the MLTextbox_GotFocus function when the control receives focus

Dim dynText As New TextBox

With dynText

    .Name = "textWhatever"

    .Top = 40

    .Left = 40

    .Width = 80

    .Height = 60

    .Multiline = True

    .ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical

    .CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper

End With

formMain.Controls.Add(dynText)

AddHandler dynText.Enter, AddressOf MLTextbox_GotFocus
