Create a hash table:

\n    Public htFieldAddrMap As New Hashtable\n

Fill it with the control file keys and the actual
objects.

Note: I forgot to name the object with the type
prefix. I saw a chunk of code, was reminded, and
then started doing it. I didn't go back and
fix the ones I already did.

I hate the VB Editor. I've exported the form into
a flat file so I can clean it up in gvim later.

\n        htFieldAddrMap.Add("JOB", Me.job)\n        htFieldAddrMap.Add("PROJECT", Me.Project)\n        htFieldAddrMap.Add("CLEAR_LOCKS", Me.ClearLocks)\n        htFieldAddrMap.Add("PNT_WFD", Me.WFD_File)\n

This list goes on for about a 40 fields and objects.
Different types. But I only have one list type, which
I handle in hard code later.

I read the control file via:

\n   Dim arr() As String = Split(line, "=")\n   arr(0) = arr(0).Trim()\n   arr(1) = arr(1).Trim()\n\n   If htFieldAddrMap.ContainsKey(arr(0)) Then\n     Dim type = htFieldAddrMap(arr(0)).GetType().ToString\n\n     Select Case type\n       Case "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox"\n          htFieldAddrMap(arr(0)).text = arr(1)\n       Case "System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox"\n          htFieldAddrMap(arr(0)).checked = arr(1)\n       Case "System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown"\n          htFieldAddrMap(arr(0)).value = arr(1)\n       Case "System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox"\n          htFieldAddrMap(arr(0)).text = arr(1)\n       Case Else\n          MsgBox("Unhandled Type:" & arr(0) & "]:[" & type & "]")\n       End Select\n\n

I basically do the reverse when writing, converting booleans
to 1/0 since my later code wants it that way.

Saves stringing the types.
On the other hand, I was going to create a 2nd level table to consolidate the the duplicate behaviours.
But then again, I'm probably going to throw this away and rewrite it in C# in a couple of days anyway.
