Hey Pieter..... you can do this....just try to follow the steps below.. 1. if your  mainform  is MDIForm or normal Windows Form...then by invoking Application .OpenForms() method you able to find the name of ACTIVE FORM. 2. Next you want to do some actions with control available on that form then you need to use any looping technique (like FOR Do While...) you can list the Controls on that form with their names by calling Controls() method to enumerate controls.
