Hmmm... Controls are objects, not strings ! And strings are not objects, so 
can't deal with the "." operator.

I will never add such a brainwashing syntax in gambas! :-)

You must understand that your problem will not be solved by syntactic sugar, 
but by a redesign of the interpreter internals, which I won't do for a while!

So, make your control arrays exactly the way you would do in Java.

Maybe, one day, in the future, I could add support for array controls in the 
IDE. But I'm sure you can always do your job differently without the need of 
them.
