Hello

What i want is to display 65 textboxes and 65 labels adjacent to each other in 3 or 5 columnar way on the userform at run time.

Textbox and Label Top Position starts from 144

so when used the following in below code for both controls textbox and label .Top = 144 * i * 1 the gap between each Label and Textbox is huge and looks bad.
How can i get the perfect gap between each label and Textbox respectively below each other and also perfect gap for columnar representation on userform.

Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
......so on


Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Integer
Dim txtbxTopPos As Integer
Dim txtbxGap As Integer


Dim txtB1 As Control
Dim labl As Control


For i = 1 To 65
Set txtB1 = Controls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1")
Set labl = Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1")
With txtB1
.Name = "txtBox" & i
.Height = 15.75 
.Width = 126    
.Left = 102     
.Top = 144 * i * 1
End With


With labl
.Name = "lbl" & i
.Height = 15.75 
.Width = 126    
.Left = 10     
.Top = 144 * i * 1
.BackStyle = 0
.Caption = Sheet1.Cells(1, i).Value
End With

Next i
End Sub

Thankx NimishK

yes i removed I
txtB1.Left = txtB1.Left + 25
labl.Left = labl.Left + 25


But still repesentation

Label TextBox
Label TextBox
Label TextBox
Label TextBox

and NOT

Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox
Label TextBox Label TextBox Label TextBox

How to achieve above.

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
can you upload the worksheet to dropbox ??
So I can play with it AND the code

Maybe this:

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Integer
Dim txtbxTopPos As Integer
Dim txtbxGap As Integer


Dim txtB1 As Control
Dim labl As Control

y = 144
x = 10
For i = 1 To 65


    Set txtB1 = Controls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1")
    Set labl = Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1")
    
    If i = 23 Then
        x = 300
        y = 144
        ElseIf i = 46 Then
        x = 600
        y = 144
    End If
    
    With txtB1
        .Name = "txtBox" & i
        .Height = 15.75
        .Width = 116
        .Left = 102 + x
        .Top = y
    End With


    With labl
        .Name = "lbl" & i
        .Height = 15.75
        .Width = 126
        .Left = x
        .Top = y
        .BackStyle = 0
        .Caption = Sheet1.Cells(1, i).Value
    End With
    y = y + 25
Next i

End Sub

Akuini This was a rock-solid one. Thankx:beerchug:
yes you are right you made me think on x and y co-ordinates which i never thought off.

And Added in Red
Dim y As Integer
Dim x As Integer
the above were not dimensioned

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim i As Integer
Dim txtbxTopPos As Integer
Dim txtbxGap As Integer

[COLOR=#ff0000]Dim y As Integer
Dim x As Integer[/COLOR]

Dim txtB1 As Control
Dim labl As Control

y = 144
x = 10
For i = 1 To [B][COLOR=#ff0000]68[/COLOR][/B]

    Set txtB1 = Controls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1")
    Set labl = Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1")
    
    If i = 23 Then
        x = 300
        y = 144
      ElseIf i = 45 Then
        x = 600
        y = 144
        
[COLOR=#ff0000]       ElseIf i = 67 Then[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]        x = 900[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]        y = 144[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#ff0000]    End If[/COLOR]

    With txtB1
        .Name = "txtBox" & i
        .Height = 15.75
        .Width = 116
        .Left = 102 + x
        .Top = y
        .Text = i
    End With

    With labl
        .Name = "lbl" & i
        .Height = 15.75
        .Width = 126
        .Left = x
        .Top = y
        .BackStyle = 0
        .Caption = Sheet1.Cells(1, i).Value
    End With
    y = y + 25
Next i
End Sub

Michael were you going to code like above or you had something different in mind

If you want to make it look equal why not 66 textbox? so each column has 22 textbox

just use (in my original code):

Code:
For i = 1 To 66

and we don't need :
Code:
[COLOR=#ff0000]      ElseIf i = 65 Then
        x = 900
        y = 144

    End If[/COLOR]

Hello

As this is my first time using controls at run-time. i am finding difficult for textboxes references
when pressed on button and calling Sub GetRecord i get Error Method or Data Member not found
Basically how can i reference it(textboxes) to avoid the error.

Code:
Private Sub cmdButton_Click()
      GetRecord curRow
End Sub

Sub GetRecord(ByVal row As Long)

Dim Ws As Worksheet
Set Ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")


Dim i As Integer
    UserForm1.Tag = xlOff
    Ws.Activate


Dim txtB1 As MSForms.Control
For i = 1 To 65 
   UserForm1.txtB1(i).Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(3, i).Value
Next i
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Integer
Dim txtbxTopPos As Integer
Dim txtbxGap As Integer

Dim txtB1 As Control
Dim labl As Control

y = 144
x = 10
For i = 1 To 65

    Set txtB1 = Controls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1")
    Set labl = Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1")
    
    If i = 23 Then
        x = 300
        y = 144
        ElseIf i = 46 Then
        x = 600
        y = 144
    End If
    
    With txtB1
        .Name = "txtBox" & i
        .Height = 15.75
        .Width = 116
        .Left = 102 + x
        .Top = y
    End With

    With labl
        .Name = "lbl" & i
        .Height = 15.75
        .Width = 126
        .Left = x
        .Top = y
        .BackStyle = 0
        .Caption = Sheet1.Cells(1, i).Value
    End With
    y = y + 25
Next i
End Sub

In Private Sub UserForm_Initialize you name the textbox using this line
Code:
.Name = "txtBox" & i
it means that textbox names are txtBox1, txtBox2, txtBox3... etc
So you can refer it like this:
Code:
txtBox1.Value = "YES"

If you want to use it in a loop:

Code:
For i = 1 To 65
   UserForm1.Controls("txtBox" & i).Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(3, i).Value
Next
