Replicate control

[shatch]

Hi

I need to write a function which will take in a control and create a new instance of its type (an new instance of it), does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

S.

something like this? I havent tried it!

private function f1(byref con1 as object)
  dim newcontrol as object
  newcontrol = ctype(con1,con1.gettype)

end function

No, tried that, error is con1.gettype is not defined...

This is really doing my head in, it seems so simple

Well, for those of you that are interested and want to use it i found the answer:

Dim myType As Type = ControlToReset.GetType
Dim objControl As Object = myType.GetConstructor(myType.EmptyTypes).Invoke(Nothing)

Glad to have made it in the end
