Clear Form

[David A. Osborn]

Is there an easy way to dynamically delete all the controls on a form
without knowing exactly what the controls are?

This seems to "Deletes" the controls from the form.
IS there a way to clear the values/contents in all the fields of a form
using a single (or) a set of commands ?

You may want to recursively loop though all the controls and reset them.

Anand,

This was your first question on which Alejandro answered and than you reply

I find this not a fair reply to Alejandro.

Setting a form to "new" is the most easy way to reset it to its base format
in my opinion.

Just my thought,

Cor,

Apologies for the confusion. I saw this post and asked a related question.
How/where can we set a form to new ?
We want to make this call from an icon in our form. We are not able to call
Me.New() or MyBase.New() as they are constructor methods.

Thanks in advance.

Anand,

I don't know if it is a real good solution, however when I tried this I
thought it gave me the result as expected with a designer created form.

\\\
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Controls.Clear()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
///

I hope this helps?

Cor,

Yes, it is a solution. We tried it and it works - it basically removes all
the controls and repaints the screen.

thanks
