Hi David, What do you mean by incredibly slow? How many buttons are we talking about?
I just did a test with 1000 buttons and it took 3.47 milliseconds. With 5000 buttons it was 16.78 milliseconds. Did I miss something? Cheers.

Better to use a reference to access the control you want directly. eg something like either Ben's or my previous post.
