if you made yourform correctly, the controls on it are declare at least protected, better private. you cannot so access them from outside the form... i don't really understand why you want to do such a thing ? can you light my thought please ?

[toxcct][VisualCalc]oh sure. actually i have placed textboxes on a form which are disabled by default. now i want to pass this form to a module which contains a function that is going to check that "which control is textbox" and then will enable these text boxes. now the problem is that when i pass the form to module, i cannot make it to ditinguish b/w textboxes and other controls. if not enough plz do guide me....

[toxcct][VisualCalc]ok now thats a good solution. the form stores all the controls in an array what is the name of that array? Mian Rashed Inam Khattak

if you reach the code of your frame, you'll see into the constructor (
New()) a call toInitializeComponent(). in this function, I found the first line asMe.components = New System.ComponentModel.Container
i so think that they are stocked there. but you still don't answer my question : why don't you use the identification name of each control (which must be unique) ?

[toxcct][VisualCalc]the reason for doing so is that i have almost 13 textboxes on the form and i dont want to control each of them separately. any ways thanks for the help i think this will help my problem to be worked out. thanks once again. Mian Rashed Inam Khattak
