Hello,

In one of my projects i use a SSTAB object with a view controls on it
(textboxes and a checkbox).
I want to set the enable property for all the controls on the SSTAB object
to FALSE.
Not the SSTAB object itself.

Is there a faster way to do this than to set all controls on the SSTAB
seperately.

eg.
For each item/control in SSTAB<name>
-----
-----
Next

T.i.a.

Regards,

I learned a long time ago, the SSTab works best when you place a container, a
frame or a picture box, on each tab, and embed all the components in the
container. In this case, all you'd have to do is set the container's enabled
property to false and all contained components would be disabled.

Good idea

Here is the sample code ... add appropriate error handling

Private Declare Function GetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

Private Sub cmdDisableSSTabControls_Click()

Dim controlOnForm As Control
For Each controlOnForm In Me.Controls
If (SSTab1.hwnd = GetParent(controlOnForm.hwnd)) Then
Call CallByName(controlOnForm, "Enabled", VbLet, False)
End If
Next

End Sub
