Would someone mind offering advice on emulating VB's control arrays

eg, in VB you can put [x] buttons in a control array and then have all the
events piped through one event proc and refer to each item in array
notation.

Obviously is is no problem to get all the event controls wired to one
procedure, but the result is not indexed (although I could write that bit,
easily).  What would be the easiest way to refer to item 3 in a group
though?  eg, they are named Button1, Button2 and Button3.  How might I
access Button[i]?  I imagine that there is a function which can return a
reference to a control using a string representation of its name?

Thanks

Ed Wildgoose
