Finding an item in a collection of types

The speed of the comparision isnt any faster. The function still needs to iterate through the loop.
I was hoping for something a bit more in the flavor of a native function.

i might use SSS's method dealing with the handles is a good idea, but i need more of a human interface. By this i mean a method that a developer can use tofind a checkbox by using the name, since the developer is not going to know the handle id right off the bat.

Thanks for the help though. Very much appreciated
