The Form class (which derives from Control) has a Controls property:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.controls.aspx

which is a collection of type Control.

The Control class has a GetType() method to allow you to determine if the
current control is a TextBox.

Inside the Form itself only or also inside other containers on the Form?
The former (it's shorter ;-) ):

'assuming option infer on
for each c in controls
if typeof c is textbox then
with directcast(c, textbox)
.property = value
end with
end if
next

Peter,

I've seen that the getType is currently more popular, but why not the way we
here in this newsgroup has done it forever.

If Typeof object Is Classname?

http://www.vb-tips.com/ControlBorder.aspx

Is this a kind of verCSharping (I don't know if you knows a tiny little bit
Dutch, then you understand it)

It means something as: using C# ways, where there is a very good VB
alternative.

:-)

I'm not trying to start anything, just trying to offer the OP a way the
"learn to fish".
Your way is certainly just as good, and certainly more VB-traditional.
