Remarks

You can use this property in a For...NextLANFOR loop to specify the number of forms or controls in a collection.  For example, the following code would move all controls on a form one-half inch to the right (ScaleMode5SNY0BP = 0):

For I = 0 To Form1.Count - 1
  Form1.Controls(I).Left = Form1.Controls(I).Left + 720
Next I

You can also use this kind of structure to quickly enable or disable all controls on a form.

When used with the If TypeOfLANIF statement, you can cycle through all controls and change, for example, the values of only the text boxes, or the BackColor1W9T6JQ setting of all the option buttons.
