Hi.

I am using VB.Net in VS 2005,
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can retreive the actual control.name
when using the controls collection.

E.g. In the given example, (where v_parent is a toolstripcontainer),
ctrl.Name is always "" even though the debugger clearly recognises it as a
toolstrip panel control.

Private Sub TestControlNames(ByVal v_parent As Control)
If Not v_parent Is Nothing Then
        For Each ctrl As Control In v_parent.Controls
           If TypeOf (ctrl) Is ToolStripPanel Then
              MsgBox(ctrl.Name)
           End If
End If
End Sub

Is there a better VB.Net way of iterating through form controls, that would
give me the control.name properties. I'm still completely confused as to why
the name would be "" in the first place, VB.Net must know what it is?

Any help much appreciated.
Thank you
Regards
