Optimized Compile Problem with Control

I have searched and read every thread that I can find involving the Control Keyword. It is probable that my problem is so simple that it's not come up.

In all the programs I have written, I have never had more than 1 Menu form, usually called fMenu and a FormLib Object called flMenu. Using these as Literals [ie. flMenu.New1("fMenu",B4PObject(1))] has always worked both in Debug and Optimized Compile.

In the attached snippet, I have 3 menus with FormLib Objects flMenu1, flMenu2, flMenu3. When compiling I get the error Unknown Control Type. Using: [ Control(fml, Form).New1(fm,B4PObject(1)) ] then Generates an Unknown Property error. Thinking that I could not use the Control Keyword when initializing (.New1), I took this out of the loop and initialized all three menus using the literal [fl.Menu3.New.....] and this compiled just fine but... when it got to "TextBox", I got a Control type error!
Using: [Control(fml, TextBox).SetFontStyle(names(i),True,False,False,False) generates Unknown Property error.

Can someone please help.

Your attachment is not a valid sbp file but contains only a fragment of code. How about posting some proper source so we don't have to try to guess how to build your form and menus.

However

Control(fml, TextBox).SetFontStyle(names(i),True,False,False,False) generates Unknown Property error.

It will! fml is, I assume, a FormLib not a Textbox - try

Control(fml, Formlib).SetFontStyle(names(i),True,False,False,False)

Could this be related to not assigning teh main module prefix to the control keyword?
like...
Control(fml, TextBox)
should really be..
Control(main.fml, TextBox)
??

No. As I pointed out fml is not a TextBox, it is a Formlib. My suggestion works without needing a module prefix.

Agraham is correct

My apologies for only posting a code snippet and not the whole program. I have attached the whole program along with a functions .txt.

I did not realize that FormLib was a Control Type. As I mentioned in my original post, "something so simple..."

Thanks again to all for your help.

NB. The attached program DOES compile now!
