It seems that everyone forgot how the old C pointers were used...

Let's say that your have TextBox controls named txtObject (as an array) and
the columns of your 'matrix' are cNumCols. Just add a property Get into your
Form like this

private/public property get MyObject(byval row as integer, byval col as
integer) as TextBox
	set MyObject = txtObject(col + row * cNumCols)
end property

in this way you can access your matrix of controls like

	MyObject(i,j).Name = "Marco"
