[2005] Populating Textboxes From Array Of Strings?

this is how I set up my data object for a file parser. (

Dim mytable As New List(Of String(,))()
mytable.Add(New String(4, 16) {})

and it loads mytable like this:

mytable(x)(y, i) = sToken(i)

Let me explain the indices, I have a form with a tab control. In mytable,x is the tab number. Each tab has up to 5 groups which is y. Each group has 17 text boxes, i.Each group also has 17 labels.I started looking at Me.controls, and looking at control properties like tabindex for some way to iterate through the textboxes and mytable to load the textboxes.

so I started with:

for x = 0 to 31
msgbox(group1.control(x).text
next x

and I saw how all my objects are not in sequence as it descending halfway through my label controls, then switched to my textboxes, and then seemingly finished randomly. I am at a total loss without the old index property and what I want to do is something like (forgive my syntax)

Form(0).Tab(x).group(y).textbox(i).text = mytable(x)(y, i)

I was thinking of manually setting the tabindex of all textboxes in group1 to sequential order to try something like:

group1.component.tabindex(i).text = mytable(x)(y, i)

To me this is fun and challenging, but also very frustrating and makes me miss coding in assembly As I can't seem to find any reference to the tree structure of accessing components indirectly, if that makes sense.
