Questions about User Controls

[Terrance]

I've built a user control inherited button and I need it to change the
enabled property of all the controls on the form except for the labels and
buttons. I'd like to use this control on other forms to do the same.

I've tried the following:

Dim a as ControlsCollection = Me.Parent.Controls
Dim s as Controls

For Each s in a
s.enabled = False
Next

This sets all the controls enabled property to false including labels and
buttons. Any suggestions on how I can only change the enabled property of
certain controls?

Hi Terrance,

What do you mean by certain controls?
You can certainly check for certain control types and disable only those

[C#]
foreach(Control c in a)
{
if(a is Button || a is TextBox)
c.Enabled = false;
}

Well, if you need to disable only certain labels and certain buttons and not all labels and buttons, then you need some way of marking which controls should be disabled(for instance using the Tag or Name properties), or keep a separate list of those controls.
