Binary String to Enable Objects

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Alex,

Perfect.
Of course we have to use (char i of tBinStr = 1) and not item!
I use too the method that consists in naming controls with an  
incremental suffix.
But I think that IDs, since they can never change, might be the more  
secure solution... but it supposes to build the GUI properly ;-)

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
