Variable textboxes

[sicohne]

I have 5 textboxes (textbox1 - textbox5).
I have a text file with 5 lines of data

I want to write a loop which will put each line into the coresponding textbox. I.e.

for i = 1 to 5
lineOfText = LineInput(1)
textbox(i).text = lineOfText
next

The above example doesn't work, but is there anyway of doing this or do I have to tell each line specifically which textbox to go in?

VB.NET does not support VB6 style control arrays which is what you are attempting to do here. Instead you need to create your own array of textbox controls in the constructor after the call to InitializeComponents.

You can then use the code that you have given.

Thanks, I managed it with a controls collection in the end.
