Does anybody know how to locate a control by its coordinates.
For Example, i have a label1, a label2, and a command button. When i click the command button i want the text of label 2 to have the name of the control(label1) at a certain point on the form.
If anyone understands what i'm trying to say, can you help me? :confused:
i can't clearly understand of your problem.
you mean that if you click the command button the value text in the label2 will come from the value of label1?Quote:

Loop through all the controls on the form and test whether the x,y point falls within the control's area.Quote:

OK, I like the loop idea, but i'm new and i dont have a clue how to do that. Could you give me the code please. :bigyello:
