Array of unrelated objects

Hi,
I've got a bunch of textboxes and commandbuttons and it seems to me that there should be a way to iterate through them to change their backcolor.I want them to all keep their existing names and indexs though.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks

You could loop through the controls collection and then depending on the type of control you could then change the backcolor property or whatever other property you wanted to change.

I want to know how to use the controls collection but only choose some of the textboxes.Can I define them as a collection somehow?

Try this
for i = 0 to form.controls
if typeof form.controls(i) is Text then
' do whatever
esle if typeof form.control(i) is Commandbutton then

' do whatever

endif

next i

let me pretty up (and correct) svskumar's example

Code:

---

Dim intControl As Integer

For intControl = 0 To Me.Controls.Count - 1
    If TypeOf Me.Controls(intControl) Is TextBox Then
        MsgBox "textbox"
    ElseIf TypeOf Me.Controls(intControl) Is CommandButton Then
    ' do whatever
   
    End If
Next intControl
