    Adding a control programmatically...

    I want to create a textbox programmaticall y and add the SAME textbox to
    to different panels. This code does not work:

    Dim tb As New TextBox
    tb.text = "xyz"
    Panel1.Controls .Add(tb)
    Panel2.Controls .Add(tb)

    The textbox gets added to Panel2, but not Panel1. How can i get the
    textbox to go to both panels? I can get it to work by duplicating the
    code block... one code block puts the textbox in Panel1 and the other
    one to Panel2. But i don't want to duplicate lots of code... i'd rather
    have it in one code block.

    Thanks!
    John

      Why would you add the same control to both panels? Create two different
      text boxes. Don't forget to assign their names (and I have found Tags useful
      for dynamic controls).. and assign each to the panels.

          I really need to add the same "kind" of control to 2 different panels.
          The 2 panels need an identical interface.

          After reading your reply, i see the problem. 2 panels cannot have the
          EXACT same control. Each control is unique to itself. So i really do
          need to create separate controls and then add them to the panels.

          Thanks,
          John
