You have ThisForm.controls or ThisForm.objects. The only problem is when you have containers/pageframes on the form. A container is one control with a .controls of it's own.

>the _screen.objects(nindex)... allows to uniquely identify an object in the _scree but how can i know this 'nindex' for a form ?
>Is there a command which returns this number ? i'd like to get it in the init event of the form.
