I'll probably fix it by doing for i=oParent.controlcount to 1 step -1, so those I replaced will be removed from the current position and new ones added in the end, which would be just OK (except the instantiation order would now be reverse - but this should not be important, or there's something wrong with the design).

The collection is visible in debugger while the builder runs, and also in the command window - any member of the collection can be accessed by number. It's just that For Each it gives a syntax error.

Hi Dragan,

I wrote a tool for this purpose which is available in the downloads as NewClass. Check it out.
