Hello. All
I have this menu on my form that has the normal edit functions.

so i can cut from my text box using the code

  private void mnuCut_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

                 textBox1.Cut();

}

in the "Cut" of my menu.
but if I have more than one textbox how do I go about this, do i have to put all their names in the click event of the cut menu?




Thank You

Easiest way is to just use the code over again

textBox1.Cut();
textBox2.Cut();
textBox3.Cut();

Ect, which really wouldn't be that bad if you only have a few textBox's. What you should do though is create a control array.
Something like this.

public Control[] txtBoxArray = new Control[3]{textBox1, textBox2, textBox3};

Then in your menu button, loop though the array cutting, copying, or pasting for each textBox in the array.

Hope that helps, good luck ~ Committed. :)

Kinda having a little trouble adding the name of objects to arrays

Post what you got so far and I'll try and help. :)

namespace menuapp

{

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

public Control[] txtBoxArray = new Control[3] { Form1.fir_name, Form1.mid_nameTextBox, las_nameTextBox };

   

its not letting me say the textbox names it says
a field initializer cannot reference the non-static Field,Method or property 'menuapp.form1.fir_name'

Sorry, my bad. Try this.

 public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
txtBoxArray = new Control[3] { fir_name, mid_nameTextBox, las_nameTextBox };
        }
public Control[] txtBoxArray;

Thanks for that it worked:But i was still wondering how you go about looping thru each one in the array

private void cutToolStripButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Control[] txtBoxArray;

          //  int o = txtBoxArray.Length;

            txtBoxArray = new Control[10];

            for (int i = 0; i != txtBoxArray.Length; i++)

            {

               

            }

        }

Hi thanks it worked but I was still kind of wondering how i was too loop thru the array and cut them.thanks

  private void cutToolStripButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Control[] txtBoxArray;

          //  int o = txtBoxArray.Length;

            txtBoxArray = new Control[10];

            for (int i = 0; i != txtBoxArray.Length; i++)

            {

          //      txtBoxArray.Cut();

            }

        }

You almost got it there, but the loop should look more like this.

for(int i = 0; i < txtBoxArray.Length; i++)
{
txtBoxArray[i].Cut();
}

This tutorial may help you a bit if you dont understand that. :)

Thats what i was thinking. but its not accepting Cut.System .control doesnt contain a defination for cut

[Momerath]

Change the "Control[] txtBoxArray" to "TextBox[] txtBoxArray".

[kemnet]

ok so my code should be
txtBoxArray = new control[3] etc etc etc

TextBox[]txtBoxArray;

txtBoxArray=new TextBox[5]

for (int i=0; i < txtBoxArray.length;i++)

{

txtBoxArray[i].Cut();

}
