That's neat !  I would never have thought of using the IDs - I've never 
set an ID to a specific value, but I'll probably remember to consider 
this idea now - thanks. 

I would have done something rather less robust, such as naming the 
controls something like Bit1, Bit2, ... Bit32 and used something like
     set the enabled of control tControlName to ...

btw I think the string is a text string representing a binary number, so 
it would actually be
     set the enabled of control ("Bit" & i) to (char i of tBinStr = "1")

(Or, if the controls needed to have meaningful names for other purposes, 
then I'd have used an array or customproperty to map numbers to control 
names).
