ToolbarButton Name Property

[Barry Gast]

Hi. I am trying to access the names of the toolbar buttons in order to
match to correct button name passed to a function. However, there is no
..Name property on a ToolBarButton control. Is there any other way to access
the name of the toolbarbutton?

Thanks.

A ToolBarButton object does not have a name. References can be compared
using the Is operator, but why do you need this?

I am trying to setup user security on a form. I have a database of control
names that I want to enable or disable based on the user's access rights.
I've written a function that handles all the other control objects (text
boxes, grids, combo boxes, command buttons, etc.) But, I cannot get to the
tool bar buttons off of a name.

I guess for tool bar buttons, I could use the index to reference the button.
But then I'd also have to store the toolbar name in my database table, which
would require a table change. And we all know how much DBA's like to make
table changes... ;o)

I thought you *are* storing the toolbar name in the database.

What about storing the ToolbarButton references in a Hashtable? Use the name
as the key.

The hash table is a good idea. I will explore that option. I will also
have to do this for menu items since they do not have an accessible name
property either.

Thanks.
