Subtract 30 from all controls on form - their height and top positions?

[Justin M]

Hi there everyone I am finishing up another math game, and I was wondering if there was a quick way to subtract 30 from all of the objects on the forms top position, and 30 from their height attribute?

Thank you so much!!!

All of the objects are frames, labels, and shapes if that makes a difference?

Cicle for each control in Me.Controls collection and change their values as you want.

Ok, lets say for ex I just wanted to subtract from 1 frame.

Would I put

Frame1.height = val(Frame1.height) - 30

???

you do not need to use val() height is a numeric value and thus does not need converted

Calling Val() is almost always a weird choice anyway. It uses the "invariant locale" so depending on your regional settings it may not do what you expect. Of course that assumes you are using it to parse a String to a Double value... which is what it is for.

In this case the height (which is Single) gets implicitly converted to a String because Val() needs a String argument, and then converted back to a Double (which Val() always returns).

This could fail since implicit conversions are locale-aware while Val() uses the invariant locale.

So it is both absurd and buggy to do this sort of thing.

you could subtract just like you did there. In practice, if you are moving labels and stuff around, it's easier to have all their positions stored in an array and you simply loop through the array and change that and then call a sub that draws them on screen based on that array.
