Clear out the controls in a Form

[ChrisJackson]

Hi.

My program has two Forms. Choosing an option on Form1 brings up Form2. When I go to the second Form, enter some data and click "Cancel", I go back to the first Form with "Me.Hide" and "Form1.Show".

However, when I go Form2 again, all of the values that were entered previously are still there. I want the controls to reset to their default value when I click "Cancel" on Form2. In other words, I want the controls to have the values that they would have if I was opening the Form for the first time.

I know that I can reset the value for each control individually upon clicking "Cancel", but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Chris

I would throw into a Clear function code to reset each control

id:

txtText1.text = ""
txtText2.text = ""

something like that and then call that function either when you click the cancel button or whenever you goto the form

Why don't you just unload Form2, then when you reload it the values will be Reset.

This isn't the exact syntax, but isn't there a generic way to enumerate the controls like:

For Each Control In Controls
If Control Is TextBox Then
Control.Text = ""
End If
Next

Thanks netSurfer, Aaron and WadeD.

Of the 3 options you all provided, Aaron's was the easiest to implement (and the one that I was looking for actually).

I know that this was a simple one but I'm sick and the ol' brain isn't working so well right now (e.g., I tried to do a Me.Unload rather than Unload Me before starting this thread!). I'm feeling a little lazy too.... ;).

Thanks again,

Chris
