How can i (programatically) get a list of all the controls in a given container? I have several containers (picturebox), each with many controls inside. How can i create the list of all the controls in each picturebox? Or how can I determine which container a given control is in?

All controls placed on a form are accesible via the Form's "Controls" collection, and each control has a "Container" property which returns a reference to its container

Code:

Dim ctl as Control

For Each ctl In Me.Controls
    Debug.Print ctl.Name; ctl.Container.Name
Loop

To test for controls in a specific container, I'd use the ObjPtr function

Code:

Dim ctl as Control

For Each ctl In Me.Controls
    If ObjPtr(SomePictureBox) = ObjPtr(ctl.Container) Then
        Debug.Print ctl.Name; ctl.Container.Name
    End If
Loop
