Re: [Gambas-user] Disable controls by Tag
You are right, Ron_1st, always should comment the code. I'm afraid I'm too lazy... or too optimist..

Regards Jorge I'n happy it works now at Jesus Guardon's box. The TRY is also a nice way. You can try it to get more speed in the loop and it gives a more nice text layout. Against that way is you forget why you use the trick and now it is good help to know a method to prevent the error. Any way if you start using the TRY method add a remark why it is used.

Best regards, Ron_1st I agree with Ron_1st. I don't like to use TRY if there's not a good reason to. Anyway, Jorge's code looks pretty and short. Here is another approach without 'TRY': FOR EACH hCtl IN FMain.Controls IF hCtl IS TextBox OR hCtl IS ComboBox THEN 'etc IF hCtl.Tag = exclude THEN IF btnQuick.Value = TRUE THEN hCtl.Enabled = FALSE ELSE hCtl.Enabled = TRUE ENDIF ENDIF ENDIF NEXT But it could be slower because it checks button state in each loop.
