Changing values of multiple objects

[sjn78]

IS there a simple way to do this.

text1.visible = true
text2.visible = true
text3.visible = true

I have a lot of these types of controls on a form and needed to know whether you can do it all in 1 line of code instead of the above method.

I would like to stay away from arrays.

Thanks

The first method that comes to mind would be to create a control array and then loop through it. But you want to stay away from control arrays.

The other method would be to use the forms control collection.

Dim MyControl As Control

For Each MyControl In Me.Controls()
If TypeOf MyControl Is Label Then
MyControl.Visible = False
ElseIf TypeOf MyControl Is TextBox Then
MyControl.Visible = False
ElseIf TypeOf MyControl Is CommandButton Then
MyControl.Visible = False
End If
Next MyControl
Thanks and Good Luck!
