How to refer to a control using a function

[superanshul]

I want to refer to use a function for referring to a control something like this:

functionname("cmdbutton1").height=32

this should set the height of the command button named "cmdbutton1" to 32. Does anyone know how to do this?

I think you are going to have to explain what it is you are trying to do a little better. You want to function to return a control if you pass in the name? Are you talking about on the same form?

[Cander]

you can say

public functionname(mycontrol As Button, Height as integer) as blah

but you cant give functions properties...

Although something like this may work:

functionname(controlname as string) as control

Which then you could use the .height after it to work with the control it returned without another variable, but its kind of ugly.
