String. Is this Possible? Still trying to figure this out after 4 hours. Thank You.

Hello,
I am changing the property of a control:
myMenu.Item(0).Item(1).Text = "Something"
What I want is to use the path which value is in a string. Something like:
Dim path As String = ".Item(0).Item(1)."
Now I would to the following:
myMenu & path & Text = "Something"
Of course this doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thank You,
Miguel

There is no simple solution that will enable that idea to work. Youcould get it to work using a utility method that parses the path string, and then attempts to find the various properties within that string. However, that would be a needlessly slow, complex, and error-prone way to find a control.
Whatever it is that you're trying to achieve, you should perhaps reconsider it. I'm sure you'll come up with a simpler solution.
