Hi,

I'm using a counter to iterate through the CheckBox controls on my form
to set properties.

        For i = 1 To 48
            Me.Controls("X" & i.ToString).Enabled = False
        Next

My question is; why can't I set the CheckState in this way like

        For i = 1 To 48
            Me.Controls("X" & i.ToString).CheckState =
CheckState.Checked
        Next

Thanks.

Your application doesn't know what type of control it is looking at.
You need to do this:

For i = 1 To 48
CType(Me.Controls("X" & i.ToString), CheckBox).CheckState
= CheckState.Checked
Next
