Question

I am currently working with visible attributes on textboxes. Below I copy pasted a snippet of my code. I have several textboxes in my form. It is going to become very tedious trying to write it as I have below for all the textboxes. Is there a way to compress my code to a few lines to make the textboxes visible?

    public void makeVisible()
    {
        textBox1.Visible = true;
        textBox2.Visible = true;
        textBox3.Visible = true;
        textBox4.Visible = true;
        //etc.

    }

Try this:

foreach(Control c in Controls)
{
 TextBox tb = c as TextBox;
 if (tb !=null) tb.Visible = false; //or true, whatever.
}

For limited textboxes:

int count = 0;  
int txtBoxVisible = 4;  
foreach(Control c in Controls)
{
    if(count <= txtBoxVisible)
    {
        TextBox tb = c as TextBox;
        if (tb !=null) tb.Visible = false; //or true, whatever.
        count++;
    }
}

You can set txtBoxVisible according to your need.
