TITLE   :PRB: Cannot Create Control Array in VB6 DHTML Application
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for
   Windows, version 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

In other Visual Basic projects, you can create a control array by setting
the index of the control. However, DHTML does not support control arrays,
so this property is not exposed.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Visual Basic will prompt you to create a control array when adding a
control of the same name to a form. This does not occur in a DHTML
Application project. Instead, Visual Basic creates the new control with the
same ID and appends a number to the end.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a DHTML Application project in Visual Basic. DHTMLPage1 is
   created by default.

2. Add a Button to DHTMLPage1.

3. Copy and Paste the control back into DHTMLPage1. Note that you have two
   controls on the page. Note that the ID property for the second control
   is Button11. You can optionally add a third Button by pasting again.
   Note that the third Button is Button12.
