[Gambas-user] Messing with TextBoxes

Hi, I'm still looking for the solution to my problem (see below). Someone told me to store the control not the name of it in a variable but I can't do that (I can't figure out how really).
I'll try to be more specific reproducin what I'd like to do.
In a form I've got a combobox with values from 1 to 10 (I posted 3 before just as an example). In that same form I also defined 10 different textboxes (just say they're called textVar01, textVar02, and so on...) DISABLED by default. Once the user (this MUST be done during runtime) clicks the combobox I need to enable as many textboxes as the user selected (if 1 the first, if 3 the first 3 textboxes, if 10 all of them, and so on...).
How can I do that whit the controls I have? 
Or better... how should I modify the code? Take in consideration that I designed it that way 'cause I store in a database each record including the munber of variables entered and each variable separated as a way of control.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Pablo.
