:-) The controls "know" <g>... you can select the name in the property window and check
their Left/Top property to see if they're viewable (compared to the size of the frame)

When you change the name of an element of a control array and decide that it shouldn't be
an array, just click on the Index property and hit backspace (remove the number there).
Once you hit enter, the control will no longer be part of an array. If you've already
added code to the event handlers for that control, you'll need to fix the event
declaration (get rid of the Index param)

At runtime, you can find all controls that are inside any given container control
(frame/picturebox/etc) with the code below. The code allows for nested containers (frame1
inside frame2 etc)
