[2008] Searching for textboxes

[frosty16]

Heya guys

I was wondering is it possible to search a form for all the textboxes that contain a phrase in their name and then add all the values of thoses textboxes together?

Thank youin advance

try this:

Dim counter As Integer = 0
 
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
    If ctrl.GetType Is GetType(TextBox) AndAlso ctrl.Name.Contains("value") Then
        counter += CInt(Val(ctrl.Text))
    End If
Next
 
MsgBox(counter)

what if the textbox required is part of a .Dll customer control
