That sort of thing might become possible once Gambas gets 
introspection/intercession (Nelson's "reflexive language" 
concepts), which would have to be sometime after 1.0.  I'd want 
to see that sort of code wrapped in an eval type of statement 
though, at any rate.

However, you should realize that controls on a Gambas form don't 
currently have a name at runtime; it's a design-time convenience 
for the coder, and they're stripped out like all the other 
symbol names during compilation.
