Using Varables to build Names of form items

[KeyserSoze1877]

I have a program that does this...

I have a form with 26 seperate control arrays of 3 items. Each array represents processes on a server. So 26 servers, I look at 3 specific process on each one and depending on rules I was going to have simple shapes (small circles) that I color green, yellow, or red depending on whats going on.

I loop through my server names, I ran into an issue where I depending on what server I am on I need to modify the specific array.

The name of my shapes are CA001shp, CA002shp and so on to CA026shp. CA001shp has (0), (1), (2) array elements for the 3 shapes as do the others the same way. So when I build the var name I have (0) always be one process, 1 being the other and so on...

If I am reading CAServer001 processes, programatically in a loop, how do I build the item name CA001shp to do a CA001shp.fillColor on it, no hard coding the shape names. Everything is ini file driven. I am building this for growth all I have to do it modify the ini file.

I also use Cold Fusion and they have an Evaluate function that allows me to user variables for item names etc...

How can I do this in VB?

I figured it out.
Quite simple actually from some of the responses I read for similar deals...

The Variable J is a 0 to 2 for loop for the array elements.

First I build the name and store it in a string:
NameHold = "CA" & Servernum & "Shp"

Then do this command, and BINGO! frmMain is the name of the form the array sits on:
frmMain.Controls(NameHold)(J).FillColor = &H0&


Thats it!
You can do all the properties on the array. It works.

I'd like to thank myself.
