How much memory does a Control Index use

[rjmccorkle]

Does anyone know if a control index with a high number uses more resources than one with a low number when there are the same number of items in the array?
I'm using VB6. I have an array of 20 text boxes. The first 10 I set the indices to 0-9 and the next 10 to 101-110. I use an If/Then to test the index; if it is less than 100 it does one thing; if greater than 100 it does something else.
Does VB set aside resources for 20 things or for 110 things?
Thanks for any help.

I dont know about the resource issue, but it seems that you could do the same thing by useing the tag property to tell the two sets of TextBoxes apart, The only problem I see is if you want to iterate through all the TextBoxes useing your method your going to have to do extra work.

Hope this helps

Collin,
I'm already using the Tag property to track the default ID for the boxes. So far I haven't run out of memory or anything like that but I'm never sure what computer will be running the program: we have some 486's with 16mb & Win95 and they barely do ANYTHING as it is. Thanks for the try.
