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.Contro ls
Ctr.Text = ""
Next

This should work.

Eduardo,

Try this where "me" is your form:

Me.Controls.Cle ar()

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.Contro ls
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.

Re: Clear Multiple controls at the same time

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,
