accessing properties dynamically created controls

Hi,

I am trying to create a restaurant layout with tables on it. So, I represent the tables as command buttons. I am creating them dynamically and also removing them but now I need to be able to rotate their position and also want to save their CurrentX, CurrentY, Top and Left properties in a database.

I am trying to access the properties of a command control created dynamically. How can I do something like that since the command button name is stored in one of my variables and I can't use my variable.property syntax to access it.

Unless there is another way all together to do what I want to do.

Thanks in advance.

Lightbulb May i comment

May be this helps...
U can add WithEvents in the declaration?
Dim WithEvents cmdButt As CommandButton
After declaring it if the button is loaded U can use all the
property and method as of control loaded at designTime?
