I recently noticed that when i go and drag my mouse over a number of items on a form, you cannot just add them to like a container. For example, what im trying to get at is when you have all the items selected and you want to name them something so when a form starts up, and you want to make them visible = true or visible = false, i do not see that possibility. If this is already in VS, how do i do so? HOPEFULLY everyone understands what im trying to get at here!

I was wrong, sorry guys, i just tested it and you can use a foreach statement to make all controls visible or not.

Looks you need to post to the Windows Form Designer forum.

Hi mcgin1591,

Sorry your question is not clear to me. Once you have selected multi controls on a form, you can set Visible property in PropertyGrid window in VS. Why do you say "i do not see that possibility"?

Yes but at runtime you cannot select all the controls and change their visibility, or even if you want to code it, you cannot go intot he designer code and put them all set to visible is false can you? from what i know you can only do each control seperately, unless its possible with a for each statement?

Hi mcgin,

foreach statement to set each controls property is what I want to say. Did you have any further question about it?
