how to access to a control

Hi, I've got the name of a control (mycontrol3) in string format

string cotrolname = "mycontrol3 ";

how can I access to the control

instead of doing this
mycontrol3.Heig ht = 100;

I'd like to do some thing like this (but in the right way)
cotrolname.Heig ht = 100;

thanks

Hi Alex
I don't know why don't you just use the name of the control from its
definition ??? what you have here is not a normal situation I think.
But any way , if you have access to the container of that control ;
forexample , if the control in inside a form named Form1
You can do the following .
Form1.Controls["the name you have "].
In other words , you can access it , using the name , through the Controls
collection of the container control
Hope that helps

Hi, We recently built a very basic file management system for a client in Access 2003 (to use with incoming tif scans). In it we used Microsoft's Document Imaging activex viewer (from Office 2003). The viewer seems to be a bit 'buggy', in that sometimes if you preview a tif image using the activex on a form, then goto another form, and then come back to preview the same image again on the first form, the preview no longer shows up...

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
