How to Determine the Size of the Textbox Using ForEach Loop in VB.Net
This tutorial is all about Determine the Size of the Textbox Using ForEach Loop.
In this tutorial I will teach you how to determine the size of the TextBox by using ForEach Loop in Visual Basic 2008.
With this, it will be easy for you to determine what will be the sizes of the TextBox without specifying each of it. And the sizes will automatically appear in each Textboxes.
What is Visual Basic’s purpose?
The third-generation programming language was created to aid developers in the creation of Windows applications.
It has a programming environment that allows programmers to write code in.exe or executable files. They can also utilize it to create in-house front-end solutions for interacting with huge databases.
Because the language allows for continuing changes, you can keep coding and revising your work as needed.
However, there are some limits to the Microsoft Visual Basic download. If you want to make applications that take a long time to process, this software isn’t for you.
That implies you won’t be able to use VB to create games or large apps because the system’s graphic interface requires a lot of memory and space.
Furthermore, the language is limited to Microsoft and does not support other operating systems.
What are the most important characteristics of Visual Basic?
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Download, unlike other programming languages, allows for speedier app creation. It has string processing capabilities and is compatible with C++, MFC, and F#.
Multi-targeting and the Windows Presentation Framework are also supported by the system, allowing developers to create a variety of Windows apps, desktop tools, metro-style programs, and hardware drivers.
Let’s begin:
Open Visual Basic 2008, create a new Windows Application and drag the TextBox and A Button in a Form.

Double click the button and do the following code into the method.
[vbnet]
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Try
'FOR EACH TXT AS CONTROL IN THE FORM OF CONTROLS
'GET THE COLLECTION OF A CONTROL CONTAIN WITHIN THE CONTROL.
For Each txt As Control In Me.Controls
'CHECKING IF THE TYPE OF A CONTROL WAS A TEXTBOX
If txt.GetType Is GetType(TextBox) Then
'GET OR SET THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH OF THE TEXTBOX
txt.Text = "SIZE:" & txt.Size.ToString
End If
Next txt
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
[/vbnet]Press F5 to run your project and click the Button to work the code in the method.
