Selecting all check boxes

[programmerboy]

I know how to do this in web applications, but I am having a hard time doing this in a windows application. Here is my code below.

For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
            If TypeOf (ctrl) Is CheckBox Then
                ctrl.
            End If
Next

What I am missing here?

Did you try this? :

For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
            If TypeOf (ctrl) Is CheckBox Then
                ctrl.Checked = True
            End If
Next

For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
            If TypeOf (ctrl) Is CheckBox Then
                ctrl.Checked = True
            End If
Next

Yeh it doesnt work. I have tried it before. It says that check is not a member of System.Windows. Form.Control.

Try casting ctrl to type CheckBox. It might look something along the lines of this:

For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
    If TypeOf (ctrl) Is CheckBox Then
        CType(ctrl, CheckBox).Checked = True
    End If
Next

I'm really not sure how to cast in VB...
