form.

Shachar,

It looks for me strange, however I give a direct answer on your question,
tell us than what you want to archieve because I am not sure if this direct
answer helps you.

I type it in here, so watch typos.

\\\
public sub xx(frm as form,PicBoxName as string)
for each ctr as control in frm.controls
if ctr.name = PicBoxName then
directcast(ctr, Picturebox).image = image.fromfile(path)
next
end sub
///

I hope this helps so far?
