Display dynamic number of textboxes

[Eric Folbrecht]

I need to display a number of textboxes with their labels (contained in multidimensional array). I can not figure out how to get around the constant variable in the ADD CONTROL TEXTBOX statement. I want to use a FOR..NEXT looping for the number of variables and then display them on the screen for editing, but the because of the constant Windows control number or equates, I can't figure out the coding for it to be dynamic.

Any help will be very helpful!

I need to display a number of textboxes with their labels

        case %wm_initdialog
            for i = 1 to 10
                 control add label, cb.hndl, %IDC_LABEL1 + i, "Label" + format$(i), 48, (i-1)*12, 92, 12
            next

Thanks Chris! I spent way too long trying to figure this out and you saved the day.

Same principle....includes reading controls as well as writing ...
