Does anyone know of a way to create, at runtime, an array of the objects which are contained on a form? I'm looking for a function which will run something like this:

laFormObject = AOBJECTS(THISFORM) && pass the name of the form or any other container object (page from a pageframe would be another possibility)

and the resulting array would appear something like this:

laFormObject[1,1] = "lblName" && Object name
laFormObject[1,2] = "Label" && BaseClass
laFormObject[1,3] = "m2mLabel" && Class

laFormObject[2,1] = "txtLName" && Object name
laFormObject[2,2] = "TextBox" && BaseClass
laFormObject[2,3] = "m2mText" && Class

and so on.

The specific information I need is the object name and the object class, base class, or parent class. Better yet would be a parameter on the function which would only return objects of a particular type or class. I need a list of all of the text boxes and command buttons on a form.
