[RESOLVED] General VB problem

This is a general VB problem. With this code from User Control:

Code:

---

With Extender.Parent.Controls(Extender.Name).Item(0)
    .property = value
End With

---

... nothing happens (.property is the same as before). But this:

Code:

---

Extender.Parent.Controls(Extender.Name).Item(0).property = value

---

... works.

Am i missing something?

Your probably nesting With statements. Keep it at one level.

No. It's the only one. There's no nesting at all.

I thought there has always been a problem with highly nested expressions.. as in, theres 5 dots in your statement.. I think the maximum is 3? I'm sure theres a service pack for that though.. can't remember.

chem

Have you try this:

Code:

---

(Set) Item = Extender.Parent.Controls(Extender.Name).Item(0)
With Item
    .property = value
End With

---

Does this work?

some things just don't work in with blocks
take with printer for example

How can it be an Item, when it's a property?

I'm not trying to get it to work, cause i'm quite satisfied with my current solution. I was just wondering, why With block causes the problem.

try this

With Extender.Parent.Controls(Extender.Name)
Item(0).property = value
End With

OK. This works :) Why's so?

I think the index is screwing it up

Resolved :)
