Help with drag drop.

Okay, the drag drop event for a label looks like this:
code:
Private Sub label1_DragDrop(Source As Control, x As Single, Y As Single)
   
End Sub

My problem is how do I tell what the Source is?
I tried:
code:

if Source = label2 then

but as it turns out that is only comparing the caption properties (ie if I dragged over label3 which has the same caption as label2, then that if statement will be true). How do I verify that source is actually label2? Is there a property that is unique to all controls ? (and name doesn't work if you have an array of controls)

If it's part of a control array, then you can use the Index property to distinguish between controls. Also, you could make the Tag property unique to all controls, as a hack.
