Returns a reference to a collection of controls contained on an object.
Syntax
object.Controls(index)
object.Controls.Item(index)
The Controls property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| index | A value that identifies a member of a Controls collection. |
Remarks
The Controls property is similar to the Controls collection on the Form object, and is accessed in a similar manner. For example, use the following code to get the Top property of the second control on a Toolbar control:
MsgBox Toolbar1.Controls(2).Top
With the Controls property, you can iterate through all the controls on a Tab object or a Toolbar control and change the properties of each control as in the following code:
Dim ctlX As Control
For Each ctlX In Toolbar1.Controls
ctlX.Width = _
Toolbar1.Width / Toolbar1.Controls.Count
Next
Note The Controls collection refers to controls contained by the Toolbar control, such as a ComboBox control, and not the Button objects, which are part of the control itself.
