Winodws Form Controls Listing?

Hi,

I want to get the controls of the windows form. I know that
form.Controls give me the list of controls but i have a problem. For
example, the toolstripmenu control cannot be reached with that way. My goal
is to list the items of the toolstripmenuit em on the form. I have only the
typename of the windows form so i am invoking the form with its typename,
and i can reach the controls like buttons,labels etc. But i cannot get the
toolstripmenu, because it is not added as a control onto the form. So, is
there a way to get the list of such controls? I think it must be. Because
code intellisense gives me the all controls,member s of the form when i hover
the mouse on the form name.

Thanks...

Adam.

Check the Items property of the ToolStrip.

Hi, I have a form with several controls. One of them is initialized through VB in frm_current. I am using the frm_beforeupdate event to prompt users for saving changes. How can I make it so that the initialization of the control does not dirty the form? I don't want to prompt the users for saving changes unless he changed one of the remaing controls on the form. BTW, the control I initialize is a foreign key and changes over time. Thank...

TIA! I have an A2k mdb which contains a sample record so that my users can have an online example of input for a any given field. I don't want them to be able to edit the record, but also do not want to prevent them from doing a lookup for the live data, so using the allowedits property doesn't seem to be an option. Is there a way to lock all the controls without listing the over 60 controls individually, then unlock the lookup? I...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
