Hello,

Using a hashtable to hold copies of ImageControl, I seem to be having a
problem getting a copy out.

buttonTable is a Hashtable. buttonName is a string to represent the key.
Here a snippet....

  ImageControl buttonImage;
    if (buttonTable.containsKey(buttonName)) {
    buttonImage = buttonTable.get(buttonName);        error on this line.
see below
  }

the GET line gives compile error...
Error: (98) incompatible type; found :java.lang.Object, required:
borland.jbcl.control.ImageControl.

First time using HashTables. When I add the imagecontrol into the table
(put(buttonName, buttonImage), it copies the object, right? ... not just
storing a reference to it?

Cheers,
Eric
