The first one creates a new textbox object called hTextbox1.  The second 
creates a new textbox object called myTextbox1.  

The use of "h" in object variable names is just a convention ("h" usually 
meaning "handle", like "p" or "ptr" in C programs usually 
means "pointer"), not syntactically significant.
