getting the type of the control [Resolved]

[ayan]

halu,

is there any possibility of getting the type of a certain control. let's say a condition of like this...

if control.type = listview then
    do this
else if control.type = combobox then
    do this

some sort of an algo, i have here. but can this be done in VB.NET? just a newbie asking question... thanx...

I'm not sure, but to prevent very large if statements and such, it may be a better idea to create several overloaded functions. Then you can pass whatever you want to it and, as long as you have that as a parameter in 1 of the functions, it'll work.

thanx... so there's no thing like a built in functions involving the determination of a control type... i'll just make a function of mine...

thanx man... very much... that's times ten to the power of forever...

Try this.

Dim ctl as control
      for each ctl in me.controls
            If typeof ctl is Textbox then
                'do some crap
                   else 
                  'do some different crap
                  end if
              next
