[RESOLVED] Enumerating textboxs

Hi,

I've just replaced my line of code with your code:

CType(objControl, TextBox).Clear()

but it errors with Clear is not a member of system.web.ui.controls.textbox.

I thought I might get away with

CType(objControl, TextBox).text = ""

instead of Directcast, but still the same problem.

I did try ME.Controls, and it didn't make any difference.

See what you mean, but it definitely is'nt working for me. I'm using the latest .Net Framework and VS2005.

I cant find which versions the article are using.

using my code it's not even finding the textbox.

I thought I'd do a variant of the code you pointed me to, as there's a subtle difference in that it uses the Gettype method so I used the code below, but it still doesn't even find a textbox.

Dim textBoxType As Type = txtAgent.GetType

For Each objControl As Control In Me.Controls
If objControl.GetType() Is textBoxType Then
'If TypeOf objControl Is TextBox Then
CType(objControl, TextBox).Text = ""
End If
Next

If I change my For Each statement to

For Each objControl As Control In Me.Form.Controls

Then it hit's the Ctype line once only. there are a number of textboxes on the form.

Thanks for your efforts.

I've had a reply that works from another site.

Private Sub ClearMe(ByVal ParentControl As Control)

For Each c As Control In ParentControl.Controls
If TypeOf c Is TextBox Then
DirectCast(c, TextBox).Text = ""
End If

' recursively call this function for each child control
For Each child As Control In c.Controls
Call ClearMe(child)
Next child

Next c
End Sub
