An alternative approach, which is particularly useful if the labels are
dynamically placed on the form, would be to use a global array of labels:
In the globals area of the form class:
Private theArrayOfLabels as Collection
In the form setup method (say form_open):
theArrayOfLabels = New Label[]
Dim lbl as Label
For each index as Integer = 0 to 199
lbl = new Label(parent) 'parent could be Me or some other
container
'code to setup the new label (initial text, font, foreground,
width etc)
'you don't need to set the name
theArrayOfLabels.Add(lbl)
Next
Finally where you reset the label text:
theArrayofLabels[index].Text = "new text"
Instead of an array of labels, you could use a collection of labels,
with the key being the individual label's name.
