scanning all [control name] on a tab [RESOLVED]

[Andy]

I didn't know how to look this one up to search, so if it's been answered, forgive me.

Let's say I have several text boxes on a tab and a button that is supposed to clear them. Instead of writing code to set each boxes.text property to " ", can there be a for ... next loop used?

I remember a thread asking about this but all I knew to answer was write out the code for each box.

[Edneeis]

Public Sub ClearAllTabTextBoxes(ByVal tab As TabPage)
        For Each ctrl As Control In tab.Controls
            If TypeOf ctrl Is TextBox Then
                ctrl.Text = String.Empty
            End If
        Next
    End Sub
 
'syntax
ClearAllTabTextBoxes(TabPage1)

thanks edneesis! that worked well. what if the text boxes are within groupbox?

search the tabpages for groupboxes, then search the groupboxes for textboxes!

Just modify Edneeis's code.
