Let me see if I understand-

You have an object reference to a control, and an object reference to a form, and you want to determine if the control is contained in the form?

You could write a recursive routine that checks the parent property of the control, and parent property of that control, etc, until you reach a form object, and then compare the form object with the reference you are checking.

On another note, what are you trying to accomplish? Maybe we can come up with an easier way to do it.
