[Python.NET] Is there a chance to imprive Python for .net to let "System.Windows.Forms.Form().Controls" be indexable?

[Barton]

Here's a snippet that may help a little if you really need to get at a 
control that has been added to a parent control:

import clr
import System
clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
from System.Windows.Forms import Form, Button

myBtnName = "button1"

form1 = Form()

def AddButton(form, btnName):
     btn = Button()
     btn.Name = btnName
     btn.Text = "Click Me"
     form.Controls.Add(btn)

AddButton(form1, myBtnName)

ctrls = form1.Controls.Find(myBtnName, False)
btn = ctrls[0]
if isinstance(btn, Button):
     print repr(btn)
     print btn.Name

System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles()
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(form1)
