Clear Multiple controls at the same time

[Eduardo78]

Hello everybody,

I heard I could clear (or move spaces) to all controls at ones without
having to call each one of them. If someone remembers how to do that, I will
apreciate your help.

My scenario is a form where I have multiples groupboxes, and in each of
those groups i have text boxes, where users enter data. And I want to have
an option where the user can clear the controls in particular group at once.
And I do not want to be calling for each one of the controls for that
process.
I used to move spaces to each one of them like this:

text1.text = ""
text2.text=""
text3.text = ""
....
textn.text = ""

but there are a lot of controls in this application.
Thanks for any good suggestions.

For each Ctr as Control in GroupBox.Controls
Ctr.Text = ""
Next

This should work.

Eduardo,

Try this where "me" is your form:

Me.Controls.Clear()

Thanks a lot Chris, it worked good, but it also cleared the labels on that
groupbox, how could I make it to clear just the textboxes?

Blah... Ya, sorry about that...

For each Ctr as Control in GroupBox.Controls
if Typeof Ctr is TextBox then
Ctr.Text = ""
End if
Next

Um, that would remove all the controls from his form... That's not what
he is trying to do.

Thanks Curtis, but that command clears evething in the form. I just want to
clear the textboxes in a specific groupbox in the form.

Thanks,
