This fails at the same point. Am I missing something... I can't
seem to get this working. And, yes I have a control already on the
window that I'm trying to clone.
Are you sure that PushButton1 has an index of "0"? Your clones will
be pat of a control array.
Also, don't forget that the cloned control will originally appear
immediately above the original. It must be moved after its creation.
My goal is to clone a group of controls. Is is possible to clone a
parent control and have all child controls also get cloned too?
No. You cannot make "clones of clones" so to speak. Each clone will
have the same events code as the original.
You can, if you have a Professional license, create a
ContainerControl with a group of controls on it. These can also be
created without cloning if you design it in the IDE.
I also don't see any examples for managing user input from multiple
cloned controls. Can someone please start me off on the right foot
on this. I'm baffled!
If you are cloning the controls themselves you work with the same
syntax that you would use for a control array. That would mean
referring to the individual control by its Index property.
