VB Snippet - Enable all Controls within a Frame Control

[James Stanich]

Public Sub EnableFrame(InFrame As Frame, ByVal Flag As Boolean)
 
    Dim Contrl As Control
 
    On Error Resume Next 'not all controls have a container property
 
    InFrame.Enabled = Flag
 
    For Each Contrl In InFrame.Parent.Controls
 
        If Contrl.Container.Name = InFrame.Name Then
 
            If (TypeOf Contrl Is Frame) And Not (Contrl.Name = InFrame.Name) Then
 
                EnableFrame Contrl, Flag 'repeat for nested frame
 
            Else
 
                Contrl.Enabled = Flag
 
            End If
 
        End If
 
    Next
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
    EnableFrame frame1,True
 
End Sub

hi, i m very sorry to say. but your code has a bug/error.. because as you used resume next, it also handle unwanted (not a child control of specific frame) that user may not want..

so, the following code only handle (disable/enable) the controls that parent is the frame.

Public Sub sEnableFrame(objFrame As Frame, ByVal bolFlag As Boolean)
    On Error GoTo mahabub_S1Error
    Dim objControl As Control
    objFrame.Enabled = bolFlag
    For Each objControl In Me.Controls
        If objControl.Container.Name = objFrame.Name Then
            If (TypeOf objControl Is Frame) Then
                sEnableFrame objControl, bolFlag
            Else
                objControl.Enabled = bolFlag
            End If
        End If
mahabub_nextS1Loop:
    Next objControl
    Set objControl = Nothing
    Exit Sub
mahabub_S1Error:
    If Err.Number = 438 Then
        Resume mahabub_nextS1Loop
        Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub

however thanks for the idea..

best regards

Thanks @Shohag_ifas. Your alternate solution worked great on the app that I'm developing.

What about a PictureBox on the frame with further nested control, or possibly an SSTab control on the frame.

Here's one that works regardless of the type of container you're digging down into:
