Hi all,

I wanted to write some generic code that would continue to work even if I added objects to a screen at runtime.

Is there another way to get an object reference to a screen object when part of the name is in a var?

I know I can use PEMSTATUS() to test if the object exists. Say that below was in a loop to test for a dozen objects

lnLoop = 5

lcObjectName = "label" + LTRIM(STR(lnLoop))

IF PEMSTATUS(THISFORM,lcObjectName,5)

loLabel = THISFORM.&lcObjectName

ENDIF

Is there any other way to get a reference to the object other than macro expansion? I think I figured this out once but dang if I can find it.

Thanks,
Albert
