Reference a control by name...[RESOLVED]

Hey everyone,

I feel like an idiot asking this but...

I have a collection of controls that I add to my form programmatically, and was wondering how I can refer to specific controls by name? I'd rather not loop through the controls collection and compare names, since there could be many of these controls.

Thanks,

Ben

Try putting them in a HashTable:

Dim oControl As New Hashtable()

' Add controls
oControl.Add("name1", TextBox1)
oControl.Add("name2", TextBox2)
oControl.Add("name3", TextBox3)

dim t as textbox

t = oControl("name1)

Fred

Thanks Fred, worked perfectly!
