   Hello guys, i'm new to this forum so hi.

  I'm here with my first problem. I'm in my last year of high school, and I need to create a program for a pay-desk.

  now, i was planning on adding controls depending on the user that logs in.

  so i was writing a procedure to add the controls for eg the manager.

  And i tried the following:

  Dim lstTables as new listbox

  me.controls.add(lstTables)

  it still works at this point, but it goes wrong with the following:

  lstTables.Location.X(10)

  the error message says: property acces must assign to the property or use it's value.

   

  How can i change the size, location etc? Ive tried everything i know about controls, it should work i think because isnt it the same as 'button.text = "" ' ?

   

  Grtz, m1dnight

  Try

  Dim lstTables as new listbox()
  lstTables.Location = New Point(10,10)
  me.Controls.Add(lstTables)

   

  A simpler way for your project might be, to add all the controls and hide the controls from the user that logs in.
