Call label from string...

[semidieu]

Hi,

I would like to do a "simple" thing. I tried to search but I don't know what to search.

I have a lot of textboxes and labels. The labels has the same name than textboxes, only with a "L" at the end of the name:

textbox1 -> textbox1L
textbox2 -> textbox2L
textbox3 -> textbox3L
...

When I do some changes in textbox1, i would like to make some forecolor or visible changes to the label.

I would like to "call" the label with a string, like textbox1.name & "L"

So, i would like to be able something like:

GetTheLabelFromString(textbox1.name & "L").visible = true


Thanks for your help.

If you're using .NET 2.0, try this:

Me.Controls(TextBox1.Name & "L").Visible = True

If you're using .NET 1.1, try this:

Dim NameToFind As String = TextBox1.Name & "L"
For Each ctl As Control In Controls
    If ctl.Name = NameToFind Then
        Dim lbl As Label = CType(ctl, Label)
        lbl.Visible = True
    End If
Next
