Iterate through all forms in a project... 1

[bmgmzp]

I can't seem to find out how to iterate through all the forms in a VB project. Why does this seem so difficult to do? I'm aware of the OpenForms property but I cant really open ALL the forms in my project just to iterate through them.

I can even find out how to reference a form if i have the name:
dim frm as form = Forms("Form1")

Anybody got any advice?

What version do you have.

I don't really understand the problem.

You have opened a form, but don't really know how to call it?

I would like to be able to do this:

For each frm as form in MyProject.Forms
messagebox.show(frm.text)
Next frm

 

[chrissie1]

only for the open forms?

I have soemthing that will do all the forms in the solution open od closed, so actually the classes that inherit from form.

No for all forms. Open or not.

 

[chrissie1]

this works for the open forms.

Private Sub ButtonX1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonX1.Click
Dim frm1 As New Form2
Dim frm2 As New Form3
frm1.Show()
frm2.Show()
For Each f As Form In Application.OpenForms
Me.TextBox1.Text &= f.Text
Next
End Sub

the other solution will be for tomorowmorning in 12 hours or try the search, I'm sure it is in here somewhere.

Thanks chrissie1. I FINALLY was able to iterate through all the forms... WHY IS THAT SO DIFFICULT? ;-) Everything is an object you would think there would be a collection somewhere that would allow for an easy for each loop. WHEW!
