Well you're not using the same steps, you've added this level of complexity:
Code:
Public Class SignBuilderForm
Dim test As FormattedTextbox
Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
test = New FormattedTextbox
test.Enabled = True
test.Visible = True
test.Parent = GroupBox1
test.Width = 50
' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
End Sub
End Class
Which I don't know what you're doing here, so I can't tell you what's wrong.
