Datagridview Looping Through Multiples

[kennedymr2]

I have a form with 6 datagridview controls ie datagridview1 datagridview2 etc

I need to loop through the 6 controls to set columnscount etc

rather than doing 6 seperate loops , is there a way eg

for ll= 1 to 6

With datagridview & str(ll)

???.columnscount=12

end with

next ll


Really appreciate some help

I don't have VS running on this machine, so I won't post any sample code, just a "from memory" bit of code.

However if you have a look at the form's Controls property you can use something like:

[tt]
for a as integer = 0 to me.controls.count - 1
if typeof me.controls(a) is datagridview then
dim dgv as datagridview = ctype(me.controls(a), datagridview)
'check the name property here if you need to i.e dgv.name
messagebox.show(dgv.name & " has " & dgv.columns.count.tostring & "columns") '*** see below
end if
next
[/tt]

*** I can't remember whether the count property is dgv.columns.count or dgv.columncount or something similar

Hope this helps
