>If it's a collection of objects on the form, sys(1272) returns a useful key, but the first word in the chain is the name of the form's class, not that of the form itself, as long as the form's .init() hasn't finished running. Once it has, it's thisform.name. So probably the best key for any control is sys(1272) with the first word replaced with "thisform" or "". You'll have to recurse, of course.
OK, I'll check about keys later. The other question is, if I add a CheckBox to a Collection, how do I make it show on the form? Or is it the other way round - first AddObject() on the form, and then add it to the Collection?
I don't want to get all objects on the form; only have an array/collection of some specific objects which I want to access later, as an array/collection.
