Question

Accessing the control created at runtime without using ControlCollection

Answer 1

A:

Not sure what language you are using but if you know the name of the control you can use the control collection and simply get a control with the specified name. This does not require you to loop through anything.

Getting a runtime control without accessing the controlcollection as far as i am aware is impossible.

For example some runtime logic i use myself is as follows:

object c = this.Controls.Find("nameOfTheControl", false);

I know the control name. How do I use that?

Edited my post to add the code hope that helps, added it in C# but changing it to VB shouldn't be hard :).

this.Controls is the controls collection. The code above uses it. The author of the question doesn't want to do this. My answer: I don't think it is possible - there's a control tree which contains all controls and you have to get one. Even if you don't use the controls collection explicitly, the method you use (like Find()), probably does.

The author does say that, how ever what the author really wants is to access the control without causing the application to hang. What is causing the application to hang is the looping, my solution does not cause the looping and therefor is alot more usefull then simply "It's not possible"
