 vb.net ide question - drop list of controls on the form

in a code window in vb.net the left sided drop down list shows
all of the controls on the form. This does not seem to be
an ordered list, and there does not seem to be a quick way
to find a control on the form, even if i know the control name.
There are many controls on the form, so it is very time consuming
searching for the control.

Is there a better/faster way to do this?

Create an addin and enumerate through the controls collection.

do you mean a new control which will have this functionality?
and this can then be added as a toolbar?

At the risk of sound curt, yes and yes.

Try system.refelction
