However, if you're setting it through the properties dialog it 
must be a string, right?

Well, he said control arrays "made it easy to loop through the 
controls setting or clearing values."  So he wants to iterate 
through the controls programmatically, meaning the Object[] 
approach is probably closest to what he wants to do (unless he 
wants to do it to every control on a form or other container, in 
which case your solution #3 would be it.)

What throws VB users off is that in VB, you could put controls 
into arrays right in the form editor, in the properties dialog.  
In Gambas you do have to do it manually through code.  I 
addressed this in my VB form converter by changing MyControl[1] 
to MyControl_1 or something like that, and generating code in 
Form_Open to add them to an Object[] called MyControl.
