Locating An Object

[StreaksAthlete]

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?

i can't clearly understand of your problem.

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)

you mean that if you click the command button the value text in the label2 will come from the value of label1?

at a certain point on the form.

what particular coordinates? from label1 or label2?

please discuss it very well so that others might help you.
cheers.

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

Bear in mind that sometimes you'd get controls within controls (panels and groupboxes) and so you might get a few controls overlapping the coordinate in question.
