CategoriesControls, Tips and Tricks
 
Declare a variable using the WithEvents keyword for the new button. Set this variable to the new button created with Controls.Add. Declaring the variable WithEvents means it gets events just like a button created at design time.
 
Private WithEvents new_button As CommandButton

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Command1.Enabled = False

    Set new_button = Me.Controls.Add("VB.CommandButton", _
        "cmdNew")
    With new_button
        .Move Command1.Left, Command1.Top + Command1.Height _
            + 120
        .Caption = "New Button"
        .Visible = True
    End With
End Sub

Private Sub new_button_Click()
    MsgBox "Clicked"
End Sub
