Use Load to create the new control. Then use the SetParent API function to move it into a PictureBox. Use scroll bars to allow the user to move the PictureBox inside another PictureBox to make the inner one scroll.

' Add a new control to the inner PictureBox.
Private Sub mnuControlsAdd_Click()
Dim index As Integer
' Create the control.
index = Text1.Count
Load Text1(index)
' Reparent the control so it's inside
' the inner PictureBox.
' SetParent Text1(index).hWnd, picInner.hWnd
' Martijn Coppoolse <vbhelper.com@martijn.coppoolse.com>
' pointed out that setting the Container is
' easier than reparenting.
Set Text1(index).Container = picInner
' Position the control.
Text1(index).Top = Text1(index - 1).Top + _
Text1(index - 1).Height + 30
Text1(index).Text = "Text1(" & Format$(index) & ")"
' Size picInner to hold the control.
picInner.Move 0, 0, _
Text1(index).Left + Text1(index).Width + 120, _
Text1(index).Top + Text1(index).Height + 120
' Display the control.
Text1(index).Visible = True
' Rearrange the scroll bars.
