Can I change more than one control's properties at the same time?

[Mike Chan]

Can I use some loop to change a series of control's properties at same time?

for example. I have textbox1, textbox2, textbox3, ...

If I want textbox1.text = "1", textbox2.text=" 2", textbox3.text=" 3"......

Can I use some loop method to do this?

Hi Mike,

Can I use some loop to change a series of control's properties at same time? for example. I have textbox1, textbox2, textbox3, ...
If I want textbox1.text = "1", textbox2.text=" 2", textbox3.text=" 3"......
Can I use some loop method to do this?

If it is for a windowform where the controls are direct on the page you can
use this
(Watch typos I type it here but it is very simple so I do not expect them)

\\\
For each ctr as control in me.controls
if typeof ctr Is Textbox then
ctr.text = ctr.name.substr ing(7)
end if
next

This goes because text is a proporty from controls.
If you did want to change the " lines", than you have to write
\\\
directcast(ctr, textbox).lines = ctr. etc etc
///

I hope this helps?

Use following:

Dim obj As Object

Dim i As Integer

For Each obj In Me.Controls

For i = 1 To 3

If obj.name = "textbox" & i Then

obj.text = i

End If

Next

Next

Quick and dirty:

\\\
Dim t() As TextBox = {TextBox1, TextBox2, ...}
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 to t.Length - 1
t(i).Text = (i + 1).ToString()
Next i

Hi Herfried,

Are you using this one now also?

\\
Dim t() As TextBox = {TextBox1, TextBox2, ...}
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 to t.Length - 1
t(i).Text = (i + 1).ToString()
Next i
///

Is nice is it not?

I was in doubt which one I would supply.

Sorry, I don't understand what you want to tell me.

Hi Herfried,

In past you where only using the for each loop.

This one came from a message an OP supplied, where we first thought it would
not work but after some investigation it did (Armin and I have been very
busy with it).

I thought you where a little bit sceptic about it, but now I see you are
advising it.

\\
Dim t() As TextBox = {TextBox1, TextBox2, ...}
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 to t.Length - 1
t(i).Text = (i + 1).ToString()
Next i
///

Hi Herfried,

Before you misunderstand it.

As the OP supplied it, it did not work, it was the investigation that did
make it work.

I am a fan of 'For...Each' loops, I don't know why I didn't use a
'For...Each' loop in this "snippet".

Hi Herfried,

Look at the one I did use this time, that is the one you have always used.

I did wanted to be cooperative this time and used yours and now you took my
newest sample.

That is all, however I am glad, because now I know that new one is a good
one.

:-))
