controls inside a frame question 1

[Fursten]

Hi,

Is there any simple way to access the controls inside a container, like a Frame?

The goal is to change the properties of textboxes inside a frame withou need to write each of them manualy, but by using: for each ctrl in Frame .... next

Thank you

Hi Sergio

There are two ways of doing this.
The First is:
If you want to use frames as the container you cannot access the controls painted on them like

Frame1.Controls

But what you can do is to access all the controls on the form and check if that control's container is frame1 e.g

Dim mycntr As Control
For Each mycntr In UserControl11.Controls
if mycntr.Name = "Frame1" then
msgbox "Hallo Control On The Frame I'am Looking For"
endif
Next



The Second is:
To Create and Usercontrol and set the ControlContainer Property To True.
Add your own Controls Property e.g
Property Get Controls() As Object
Set Controls = UserControl.ContainedControls
End Property

If you want me to mail you a little demo project just email me at cdt@icon.co.za and I will mail it to you

Cheers
Toyman

Dim mycntr As Control
   For Each mycntr In Form.Controls
      if mycntr.Container Is MyFrame then
         msgbox mycntrl.Name & " contained in frame "  myFrame
      end if
   Next
    Set mtcmtr = Nothing
