Got it. You didn't mention the table part in your initial post. :-) We have a similar data-driven mechanism that's allows us to not only translate UI elements but also change other property values at run-time. The table stores the form/container name, the contained object name, the property to change and then the value to set it to.

When you double click on the label it looks up a value and places it in the corresponding text box. In order for it to work I need to reference the field in the lookup table and the textbox based on the name of the label. I hope this makes sense, but Ken's response was exactly what I was looking for. On 8/13/2014 10:11 AM, Richard Kaye wrote: > Maybe I'm missing something here but instances of objects are variables?
