How to loop though controls on the form?

How to loop though controls on the form?

I set each control's TabStop and TabIndex, but at run time, I press Tab key,
it jump though first control to last control and does not go back to the
first one unless I use Alt + Tab to go reverse direction.

How can I write C# code to allow user just to use Tab kek to loop though the
controls?

Thanks!

Hi Ryan,

You can use the Control.SelectN extControl function to navigate controls
programatically .

Default behaviour of controls is for Tab key to loop back through to the
first control, so something is not quite right. What else have you done to
the form?

Please post form code sample.

Br,

Mark.

Thanks for all the reply. It is really helpful.

Yes, I found the problem.

I was trying to use Tab key to loop though sub-controls in a user-control.
I set this user-control Tab stop to false so all sub-control it contains can
only be negativated once, not in a loop way.

Thanks all!
Ryan

I'm wondering how to loop through controls in VB.NET. I have the code from VB6 ok, but I can't figure out how to do it correctly in .NET. This is an example from my VB6 code that loops through controls in a specific frame on a form and unselects the option buttons. .NET barks at this line of code: thiscontrol.value = False Private Sub UnSelectOpts(ByVal passedframeCaption As String) Dim thiscontrol As Control For Each thiscontrol In Me...

Apologies in advance if this sounds slow-witted, but I didn't find it here. Need to populate some textboxes on a form.

However, I haven't found anything that describes how to reference the textboxes sequentially ... evaluating the hard part of the textbox name, with the number of the loop iteration, to address the...

I want to have a routine in a page base class that will take all the text fields on a web form, and then HtmlEncode their values.

Hi, Is it possible (in vb.net with WinForms) to loop throw controls inside a container (form or panel) sorting the controls on a property (.tabindex for example) ? My problem : on several forms (or panels), i have many controls (inherited controls from base controls : MyTextbox, MyCombobox ..). I add a new property on these controls : .BeginningGroup (boolean : yes or no).

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
