vb6 control array

You have an array that you want to turn into an array. It sounds like you don't need to do anything, as the desired result is a precondition.

oops... i meant, i have a picturebox control, it's not an array.. i want to make it an array by specifying the number of items in the array.

ie: pic_image = makeintoarray(5)
pic_image(0).dosomething
pic_image(4).dosomething

I don't understand what you mean by you want to make it an array, and your example code isn't very helpful.

I think the only way you can make an array of picturebox components in Visual Basic is by first making one component and then copying and pasting it. Then a dialog box appears asking you whether you want an array of components. If you give 'Yes' you get a set of components with names
Picture1(0)
Picture1(1)
Picture1(2) e.t.c
