Referencing Collection items by name

I am converting a VB6 app to VB.NET and the existing app has several references to tool bar buttons and status bar panels by name. Everything I have seen in VB.NET only allows me to reference the item member for these collections by integer index, not by string name. Am I really missing something here? Is there a way to do a tool bar reference like MYTOOLS.BUTTONS.ITEM("MYBUTTON") rather than MYTOOLS.BUTTONS.ITEM(3)
