How to Get the X/Y Point of a Textbox Using For Each Loop

[matts11]

In this tutorial I will teach you how to get X/Y Point of a Textbox Using For Each Loop in Visual Basic 2008. With this you can easily get the location of a specific Textbox. I used the Foreach Loop so that you don’t have to specify what is the name of your Textbox. All you have to do, is to get the type of it.

Let’s begin.

Open Visual Basic 2008, create a new Windows Application, drag the Textbox and Button you needed. It will look like this.

After that, double click the button to fire the click

event handler. Then, add the following code to the method created.

1. Private
   
   Sub
   
   Button1_Click(
   
   ByVal
   
   sender As
   
   System.
   
   Object
   
   , ByVal
   
   e As
   
   System.
   
   EventArgs
   
   )
   
   Handles
   
   Button1.
   
   Click
   
2. 
   
3. 'FOR EACH TXT AS WINDOWS FORMS CONTROL IN THE FORM CONTROLS
   
4. 'ME IS AN OBJECT THAT STANDS AS A FORM
   
5. 'CONTROLS ARE BASE CLASS WHICH ARE COMPONENT WITH VISUAL REPRESENTATION
   
6. For
   
   Each
   
   txt As
   
   System.
   
   Windows
   
   .
   
   Forms
   
   .
   
   Control
   
   In
   
   Me
   
   .
   
   Controls
   
7. 'GETTING THE TYPE OF THE TXT CONTROL.
   
8. If
   
   txt.
   
   GetType
   
   Is
   
   GetType
   
   (
   
   TextBox)
   
   Then
   
9. 'IF THE TYPE OF TXT IS TEXBOX,
   
10. 'THE LOCATION OF A SPECIFIC TEXTBOX WILL EXIST INTO IT.
    
11. txt.
    
    Text
    
    =
    
    txt.
    
    Location
    
    .
    
    ToString
    
12. End
    
    If
    
13. Next
    
14. 
    
15. End
    
    Sub
    

Run your project and click the Button to start the code in the method.
