'Create Option Buttons Dynamically?

Q.  I plan to read in some questions for a questionnaire from a text file.  Each 
question may have several option buttons associated with it. Is there any way 
to code in a variable number of option buttons, so that one question will have 5 
options, another 4, another 12, etc.?

A.  Keywords: Load statement, Control Arrays

You will need a separate array of option buttons for each question on your form.  
There are two ways to manage the arrays:

1. You could determine the maximum number of option buttons needed for
a question and draw them on the form.  Those that are not actually needed can be 
made invisible.  This method is simple, but wasteful of resources.

2.  You could initialize each array with just one option button (element 0) and 
then add buttons as necessary this way:

  For i = 1 To QuestionCount - 1
    Load optQuestion2(i)  
  Next

In Visual Basic 6.0 it is now possible to create a control dynamically at runtime
using the ADD method of the controls collection. I copied this example directly
from MSDN. There is more information online and it seem there may be other ways
of creating objects dynamically but the discussion was a bit advanced for me.

This example declares an object variable of type CommandButton using the WithEvents 
keyword, allowing you to program the events of the control. The object variable is 
set to the reference returned by the Add method. To try the example, paste the code 
into the Declarations section and run the project.

Option Explicit
Private WithEvents btnObj As CommandButton

Private Sub btnObj_Click()
   MsgBox "This is a dynamically added button."
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
   Set btnObj = Controls.Add("VB.CommandButton", "btnObj")
   With btnObj
      .Visible = True
      .Width = 2000
      .Caption = "Hello"
      .Top = 1000
      .Left = 1000
   End With
End Sub
