(Solved)Hiding Controls

[JLWest]

Is there a way to select all the controls on a form loop thru and set the visible attribute to true and/orfalse>

I'm sure I saw that question asked somewhere and answered but can't find it.

Thanks,

Something like that?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   for i:=0 to ComponentCount-1 do
2.     if Components[i] is TControl then TControl(Components[i]).Enabled:=False;  

or if you are sure about all the components to be hiden:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. for i:=0 to ComponentCount-1 do
2.   TControl(Components[i]).Visible:=False;

@Gan
I'll try it. I assume Components refers to the form that has focus.
Odd that ComponentCount-1 isn't written Component.Count-1.

Oh well I'll try and if it osn't work I'll add the period.

 Thank you

ComponentCount is a property of TComponent.

Here http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/delphivclwin32/Classes_TComponent_ComponentCount.html you have some examples.

If you lay all the controls of interest on something like a panel where the panel will be the parent to all the controls you want to hide then hiding the parent should hide all of the child controls..

 But I guess you have different things in mind..

 I find the best solution is to use the BeginUpdate …. do your changes EndUpdate calls
