No Events for Dynamically Created Checkboxes?

External Since: May 08, 2008 Posts: 5

I get the error: "Object does not source automation events" when I
dynamically create a checkbox withevents.

i.e. Inside a class object I have:
Private WithEvents ochkInjury As CheckBox

This throws the described exception.

Is there anyway to know when a dynamically created checkbox is set/
reset (at the time the user clicks on it.) so that I can set/reset the
visibility of other dynamically created controls on the form?

Thanks.

Unfortunately I can't do that but I think I found a work around. I
can use a dynamically created option button which does expose the
click event and with some extra coding I can make it act like a
checkbox. A little on the retarded side but I'm getting use to that
with VBA and dynamically created controls. Smile
