Problem in visual basic control

In Visual Basic, the number of controls that can be added to a form is limited to 254 control names only.  Take note that it counts on the unique name of a control, so the best way to go beyond the limit is to use control arrays. 

A control array is counted as one control only since it shares the same resources and use just one control name (only indexes differ). 

Control array control’s number of Indexes in limited to 32,767.  Even layers of controls (control inside other controls) also have limits; only up to 25 levels of controls can be nested.
