Hello, I have a simple question,
I have a vb.net form with several buttons.
If I store the name of a button in a variable..
Dim TheName as string
TheName = Me.btnMyLittleB utton.Name.ToSt ring
How can I disable this button using the variable value?
I can do this:
Me.btnMyLittleB utton.Enabled = False
However, how can I get the name of the button (stored in TheName
variable ) and use it to disable it?
Is there a way to accomplish this without going through all the
controls in the form?
Don't want something like this:
Dim ctr As Control
For Each ctr In CurrentControl. Controls
If ctr.Name = TheName Then
ctr.Enabled = False
End If
Next
or writing the control names into a hashtable
What I want is something simple as the original example
Me.btnMyLittleB utton.Enabled = False ---TheName.enabled = False
Does anyone has something better?
Thanks!

Me.Controls[TheName].Enabled = False
You can access a control in the control collection by it's name in
2005.

Hi Tom, thanks for replying, but I am not using vb.net 2005. I have
VB.NET 2003.
If I use that code, I get the 'Enabled' is not a member of 'string'
error.

Do you have to store the button name into a variable? It would be a
lot easier to just store the button into the variable:
Dim theButton as Button = Me.btnMyLittleB utton
theButton.Enabl ed = False

Hi Rowe, thanks for replying.
Well.. I cannot store the button into the variable. I'm supposed to
only know the button name.
I've tried to set the variable as a string, then as an object, but so
far I can't get it right.
I really hope this could be as easy as what Tom suggested:
Me.Controls[TheName].Enabled = False
The problem is that whenever I use the me. part, I get an error saying
that the variable is not a member of my form.
Is there a way to cast the variable as the button name using something
like DirectCast?
Thanks for all your help!

I see no other time when you're only "supposed to know" a button name.

Why can't you loop through the control collection or use a hash table?
In the future you should ask your professor/teacher or a fellow
student for help - this newsgroup is not here to do your homework!
