first thing thank you for your reply ill try it later and will post a massege if it worked for me if i have 10 textboxes that i want to copy just to do the same thing for all the textboxes there is any way to send picture here ? that will show what i mean? and if ill do it all the text boxes will get the same properties like the original one? thankyou

I'm not sure what you want here. The textbox is a control. To spawn multiple textboxes that have the same text as your original textbox you can dimension an array of textboxes, set the location of each textbox in the array, add the textbox to the form and finally copying the text from the source box to the array. Something like this: ' assume your original textbox name is textbox1, this would go inside your button click event dim boxes(3) as textbox dim i as integer for i = 0 to 3 boxes(i) = new textbox boxes(i).Location = new Point(i * 90, 180) boxes(i).Text = textbox1.Text me.Controls.Add(boxes(i)) next
