me.controls

[craig]

me.fraDate.Top = Me.Controls("fra" & Me.cboDate.Text).Top

The top line is from vb6 how can I do the same thing in
vb.net?

fraDate is a panal
me.cbodate is a combo box with a value of 1 - 6 in it.
I also have 6 panals named fra1, fra2, fra3, etc.

Thanks for the help!

Add all controls to a hashtable ('Hashtable'), the name as key and the
value is the reference to the control.

vb6.

No, there is no direct way to refer to the controly by their name.

ok, so I dim a 2 dimential array? The first column being
the number (1-6) and the second column being the name of
the corresponding panal?

What do I dim the arrary as a string? How do I use the
array in a statment latter on in the program?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Kind of an aside, but a keyed Controls collection will be in the next
version of Windows Forms.
