loop for textboxes

[eyeseetee]

Hi I have 20 different textboxes on a page I need to make them all disabled. IS there a way I can do this e.g. in a loop rather then writing out each textbox in the c# code? thanks inadvance! :)

Iterate through the Page.Controls collection, check whether the control is a textbox, if yes set Enabled=false.

thanks for the reply I have this so far for (int x = 0; x < Page.Controls.Count; x++) { if (Page.Controls } How would I check if the control is a button and then set enable to false would it be something like Page.controls.Button.Enabled = false? thanks!!

foreach (Control c in Page.Controls)
{
if(c is TextBox)
c.Enabled = false;
}

Hi it says attrivute enabled is not recognised, I can make it invisible but not disabled what would be the reason for this? thanks so far! :)

Try this

foreach (Control c in form1.Controls)
{
if (c is TextBox)
(c as TextBox).Enabled = false;
}

where form1 is your form name.

Hi The syntax built this time but none of the textboxes are disabled. Am I missing something? thanks

It's working here. Put break point and check it is executing.

ive got the code in the page _load, its def running but not working: foreach (Control c in form1.Controls) { if (c is TextBox) (c as TextBox).Enabled = false; }

I think you are doing little bit mistake in foreach line. Please try below code foreach (Control c in this.Page.Form.Controls ) { if (c is TextBox) ((WebControl)c).Enabled = false; }

Hi No sorry the controls are still enabled on the form, this is weird... I am using VWD.
