Hello Steve,
Yes, that was also my suggestion but it leads to something like:
counter = dynamic_cast<Button *>(Pad->Controls->Item[i]);
where I fetch the Button in the "counter"-variable.
Then I must decide if it's one of the Buttons I want to change (unfortunately you where right. I've
also Buttons A..Z which are not affected).
(O.k. I know I could use the tag-property for that)
and then change the property I want.
But for me it seems like searching for things I KNOW.
I know I want to change the Buttons named button1..100.
Hence I thought there would be a possibility to fetch
the button using it's name like button("button1");
Where I can change the string and get the according button.
But thanks for your suggestions.
Wolfgang
P.S.: If someone has a more elegant way than grouping the buttons
which belong together in a pannel to fetch them like described above
I'm still interested.

Hi,
One thing you can do is to iterate through all the parent's controls,
attempt to cast each control to a Button and if it is a button, change its
colour. You could put your 100 buttons on their own Panel to make this
easier - then all the Panel's Controls will be Buttons.

news:OV**************@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... Dear all,
I've a lot of buttons named button1..button100 and want to change some of
there propertys.
Maintaining the overview I'm looking for a possibility for something like:
System::Windows::Forms::Button * Wolfgang;
for (i=1;i<100;i++)
{
Wolfgang = ???;
Wolfgang->BackColor=Color::YellowGreen;
}
to avoid:
button1->BackColor = Color::YellowGreen;
button2->BackColor = Color::YellowGreen;
button3->BackColor = Color::YellowGreen;
...
But I don't know how to fill the gap ??? with code.
Many thanks for suggestions,
Wolfgang
