"Controll Arrays" in Visual Basic

[Delta1]

Is there any way in visual basic that I can easily manipulate controlls?

Basicly I want it so when a button is pressed, other buttons change depending.

So I could have it so if one button is pressed and say a value was three I could say Button3 diabled?

Sorry if this makes no sense, im a newbie in VB. I can see how this could be done in an array, but not how to do it to an object.

I've thought of a diffrent (prebbery better in my case) way of doing what im trying to do, but im still interested in any comments

this should be easy enough but please explain more in depth or what you are trying to do..

Yeah sorry, it was late

I have a series of buttons, when I press one, based on a number value in a text box I want to disable another button,

so say I have a value of 2 in the box, and I press a button, I want the button thats 2 higher than the current to be disabled. Rather like if it was an array I was manipulating

(this is C++ because I know it better )

array[current+2]

If you get my meaning, rather than an array its a series of buttons I want to select,

Hope this makes sense :S

EDIT: One way I could do it is to have an array to manipulate and then update the status of all the buttons when one is clicked, but surely there is a more streamlined way to do this.

This was done with a text box, submit button, and 12 other buttons

Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()

Dim Num As Integer

Num = txtNum.Text

'Since the control array starts at 1 do -1 unless you ' want to start your buttons at 0
cmdBTN(Num - 1).Enabled = False

End Sub
