Changing the objectname in a form

[marex]

This is wat I have in code

Select case counter

case 1
shape1.backcolor = shape75.backcolor
shape2.backcolor = shape76.backcolor
shape3.backcolor = shape77.backcolor
shape4.backcolor = shape78.backcolor
shape5.backcolor = shape79.backcolor
shape6.backcolor = shape80.backcolor

case 2
shape7.backcolor = shape75.backcolor
shape8.backcolor = shape76.backcolor
shape9.backcolor = shape77.backcolor
shape10.backcolor = shape78.backcolor
shape11.backcolor = shape79.backcolor
shape12.backcolor = shape80.backcolor

case 3
shape13.backcolor = shape75.backcolor
shape14.backcolor = shape76.backcolor
shape15.backcolor = shape77.backcolor
shape16.backcolor = shape78.backcolor
shape17.backcolor = shape79.backcolor
shape18.backcolor = shape80.backcolor

And so on until case 50!

end select


Is there a shorter way to do this?
I want to change the numeric value an do create
a for next loop.
I've tried a few things but can't get it right.


thanks for your time.

maybe you can manipulate this

 For Each c In Me.Controls
        If TypeOf c Is TextBox Then
           c.BackColor = frm_Main.SkinForm1.SkinSource.ClrWindow
            c.ForeColor = frm_Main.SkinForm1.SkinSource.ClrWindowText
        End If
    Next

That's the code I used, after a littele modification, to
change all the shapes color in white.
You've send it to me a few days ago.
That is working fine.

But as you see, after every pass I have to change
different shapes.
After the 1st pass it's only shape1 until shape6 that changed.
after the 2nd pass it's only shape7 until shape12
and so on for 50 passings.

Pass 50 is shape295 until shape300.

Wat I like to do is change only the numeric value in the
object name in another numeric value depending on the
pass. So I keep the name shape + value x.

So Shape1 changed into Shape7,
Shape2 changed into Shape8.

I'm not sure if it is possibble to rename a piece of the objects name.
If there is a solution than I have only to write 1
piece of code with the first 6 shapes and a little loop
with a counter to change the value in value + 6.


To simplifie the question, how can I do this

for C = sCycle to eCycle

shape&C.backcolor = shape99.backcolor

next



Who knows?

Cheers

With that many controls, I'd try a control array, easy to for next loop through. Each shape has an index property. Just set that to the number of the shape (IE: Shape1 = Shape(1), Shape80 = Shape(80), etc. ...). This should make things a bit easier for you. If you think it warrants it, setting up two shapes (Shape1(), and Shape2(), or any other meaningful names) and make the indexes equal. Then when you do a for next loop:

For X = 0 To 50
    Shape1(X).BackColor = Shape2(X).BackColor
Next X

Just an idea.
