Thank you, I had implemented a find component using the component list of the form but I thought there must be a better way.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
How can I address the properties of a control whose name I have in a variable?<br />
<br />
I have tried something like this:-<br />
<br />
TControl(ControlName).Prop<wbr />erty := xxxx;<br />
<br />
While compiles happily I get an address error on run. I realsie I am apparently typecasting the ControlName variable to TControl and this is probably the cause of the error but I can't see the way to solve the problem.<br />
