for each (Control control in Controls) control.Enabled = false end for I don't 'do' VB, the syntax may be off. However, there is a Controls collection in your form that you can foreach over.

for each c as Control in me.controls if typeof c is textbox then 'for textbox you can put label or whatever other controls 'do actions (e.g. c.enabled = false) end if next

If Not cbYear.SelectedValue.Equals(Now.Year.ToString) Then ' Examine every control. For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then ctl.Enabled = False On Error GoTo 0 End If Next ctl Else For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then ctl.Enabled = True On Error GoTo 0 End If Next ctl End If cbYear is a combobox, why this code cannot work ? If i comment " If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then" then all control will disable. thanks

or you can put them in a GroupBox and, set GroupBox's enable property to false

Same for a Panel.
