Dynamically copy a frame and its controls?

[DaveBo]

I have a frame as a control array, Frame1 w/index=0
and there are controls on that also as arrays, e.g. Text1, Label1, etc. all with indexes=0.

And I want to dynamically make a copy of that frame along with all its contained controls, each with index=1 now.

I've tried looping through the Controls collection and checking for controls with Container="Frame1" and having an index, i.e. are control arrays.

These are found fine, but, now how can I load new instances of these controls?

The problem I've encountered is that in the Controls collection I can't Load one of these items because they are actual control instances and not control array objects (collections?).

So, is there any way to reference a control array object/collection from an existing control instance in order to do a Load/Add of a new instance? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here? (my head hurts!)
Thanks, DaveBo

Just coded this for you, is it any help...?

Tailz, That works, but requires hardcoding each specific control array's "Load xxx" statement.

I'd like to be able to code something more generic, so I can pass an arbitrary frame into the routine and it will be duplicated.

Thanks, DaveBo

ok... its just that you said you were creating a set of controls with index=0 at design time anyway so I couldn't see the prob.

maybe I've mis-interpreted you, anyway, If you come up with something else I'd love to see it
