Question

i’m learning Visual, and i’m tryind to do this:

    For Each folder In Dir.Subfolders
        list = list + 1
        C1CheckBox(list).Text = folder.Name
    Next

I have a lot of checkboxex named C1CheckBox1, C1CheckBox2, C1CheckBox3, etc… then i want to change the text of each checkbox by the folder name (using the list var to reference the object)…

How i can do this?

Answer 1

You can find controls by name with Controls.Find :

For Each folder In Dir.Subfolders
    list = list + 1
    Dim cb As CheckBox = Me.Controls.Find("C1CheckBox" & list, True)(0)
    cb.Text = folder.Name
Next

This will search the entire form including its child containers. If you know all your checkboxes are in say, panel1, you could be more specific:

Dim cb As CheckBox = Me.Panel1.Controls.Find("C1CheckBox" & list, False)(0)
