textbox.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(x-val, y-val)* is the right way to go, no need to Dim x As ... then assign textbox.Location = x

i see that you use 'addhandler' to add a sub without clicking the object..
but i am using VB 6.0 and i cant find 'addhandler' in this version of VB..
so can you please tell me what type of code that should i use to add a sub without clicking the object because i wanna add a textbox in runtime..

Hey...im new to vb.net and i ran into a problem just when i thought i was getting better at this.. but i hope you can help me so i can contineu with my life. My question is, when you dynamically add controls to the form, and after you close the form the runtime added controls is gone, do i have to make some kind of a database that will hold my controls and its values or is there another way of keeping dynamic controls on the form after you close the program. I hope you can help me.

Instead of using AddHandler use handles in your Sub for the control. Ex.

Private Sub button_Click() Handles button.click
