[RESOLVED] General VB problem

[gavio]

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

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

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

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.

Have you try this:

(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

Have you try this...

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

some things just don't work in with blocks...

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

[gavio]

try this

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

OK. This works Why's so?

[Pasvorto]

I think the index is screwing it up
