Visual Basic 2008 change enabled state of all buttons on form

Hi,

I have an application in Visual Basic 2008 where there is a form with lots of buttons on.
Is there a way to control the Enabled state of all the buttons on the form?
I.e. Form1.AllButtons.Enabled = True?

Thanks

Daniel.,

add all button in groupbox or panel

then use groupbox.enable = false
or panel.enable = false

Change it simply to Button

ghayasurrehman

use panel or groupbox instead of parsing the controls, that will be more efficient

or use

Private Sub Disable_Controls()
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is Button then ctrl.Enabled = False
Next
End Sub

Private Sub Enable_Controls()
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is Button then ctrl.Enabled = True
Next
End Sub
