Clear all Textboxes On A Form In Visual Basic 6

Clearing TextBox in VB is easy, you can simply do this using code below.

  

 //Assume that the object name of the Textbox is txtSample 

txtSample.Text = ""

The code above is very reliable when you have only 1 up to 20 TextBox object but if you have 20 or more TextBox objects, this will be unworthy for your effort. To clear all TextBox objects in a form, you will need some simple steps below.


STEP 1

We need to create a function that will determine if the controls in the form is TextBox and then clear its value (see the code below).

  

//We named the function as clearTxt

Sub ClearText(Form As Form)
    //Assign variable name to all the objects    
    Dim CurrentObject As Control
    //Get all the objects in the form
    For Each CurrentObject In Form.Controls
        //Determine if the current object is Textbox
        If TypeOf CurrentObject Is TextBox Then
            //If yes, clear the TextBox contents
            CurrentObject.Text = ""
        End If
    Next
End Sub

STEP 2

Now that we have the function, it's time to CALL IT! (see the code below).

  

 //Assume that the object name of the Command Button is cmdClear
Private Sub cmdClear_Click()

    Call ClearText(Me)

End Sub

We're done! Now you can simply clear the TextBox content while maintaining your code lesser. Thanks for reading!
