Hi! I'm new to VB.NET coding, but I have some old knowledge from VB6 and PHP-programming. I have been trying to figure out how to use 'For' - Loops with multiple text-boxes in my .NET form. I want it to set the text values by looping thru the number of textboxes specified. I have already tried to find some help on google, but with no luck. I think this should be basic things, but I can't figure it out. I am using VB.NET 2005, by the way. Here's my code: ================================ VB.NET CODE =================================== Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim i As Integer Dim e As Integer = i + 1 Dim amTxtBox as Integer = 2 Dim TextObject As String = "TextBox" & e 'This should output: "TextBox1", "TextBox2", "TextBox3" For i = 0 To amTxtBox '(2 = 3 text boxes) Controls.Item(TextObject).Text() = "Loop Test" & e 'and This should output: TextBox1.Text() = "Loop Test 1", TextBox2.Text() = "Loop Test 2" ,TextBox3.Text() = "Loop Test 3" Next i End Sub =============================================================================== Any help is fully appriciated! .: ThaiCoder :.

Is there any one who has done this before? .: ThaiCoder :.

I have now figured it out on my own. :-) So I will share the solution for those who ever gets the same problem. What I first did was that I tested this code in a new fresh form and created some text boxes and with one command button and this code worked out fine: Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To 3 '"3" stands for the number of the controls to loop. If you want to update the text inside all your text-boxes, then type: Me.Controls.Count -1 instead. Me.Controls.Item("TextBox" & i).Text() = "Test Loop No." & i Next i '[This will output TextBox1.Text()="Test Loop No.1", TextBox2.Text() = "Test Loop No.2", etc.] After this I was confused why my code didn't work in my original application. And then it struck me! I forgot completely that I had put the Text Boxes inside a Group control, so I retyped my code like this: For i = 1 To 3 'or use Me.Controls.Count -1 Me.Controls.Item("GroupBox1").Controls.Item("TextBox" & i).Text() = "Test Loop No." & i Next i And it all worked perfectly! :-D .: ThaiCoder :.
