Dear All
I have a question about changing the properties of different textboxes together(or similar controls like buttons or so). Let me tell you the real problem.
What i want is that , i have 40 textboxes in different tabs on a single tab container.I want whenever i hit the clear button or any other option(palced on diffrent tabs) all the textboxes in the current tab should get cleared or enable , disable or readonly(whatever) with single click.. of the button(for the active tab only)
I don't want to make a subroutine or function in which i have to set the properties like
Sub CleatTextboxes()
txt1.text=""
txt2.text=""
txt3.text=""
txt4.text=""
txt5.text=""
txt6.text=""
txt7.text=""
end sub

Sub SetReadOnlyTrue()
txt1.readonly=True
txt2.readonly=True
txt3.readonly=True
txt4.readonly=True
txt5.readonly=True
txt6.readonly=True
txt7.readonly=True
end sub

Answer Should be like
For i=0 to Tabcontainer1.findcontrol(tab1).controls(textboxes).count
control(i).readonly=false
Control(i).text=""
next

or something more appropriate

Reply soon
Thank you for your earlier reply

0	i seem, But after all you need not to loop through Controls like that. What you can do is know them than look for them later (Early Binding and Late Binding Concept). What you can do know the Controls per Tab and identify the Tab and do what ever you want to do on the Controls based on the Tab selected. and i saw you tried to Find the controls in the level of the Tab. I think if you can say Page.FindControl it can find the control in the Tab easily and faster that way Thank you for posting at Dotnetfunda [Administrator] Ashish.shrma, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
