How to change all text box visible properties on a page

[bopritchard]

i want to be able to toggle the visibility property of all of the text boxes on my web page

and without literally naming each and every control...i want to walkthrough a collection and set them

how?

thanks

You could make an array or ArrayList containting all of the TextBoxes on your page and iterate through that:

TextBox[] textArray = new TextBox[5];

/* Code here putting TextBoxes into the array */

foreach(TextBox myBox in textArray)
{
    myBox.Visible = false;
}

or

TextBox temptxt = new TextBox();

for (int i =0; i < this.Controls.Count; i++)
{
if (this.Controls.GetType() == temptxt.GetType())
{
TextBox myTextBox = (TextBox) this.Controls;
//Make your changes here to myTextBox
}
}
