Text Box Control

Hi

I would like to programatically create a new textbox control - and then copy about a dozen of the properties of a "template" textbox control into it. Right now I'm doing it property by property - I was wondering if there was a "for each" type of approach. If I could copy ALL of the properties from my template textbox, that would also be okay

I'd appreciate any suggestions

Thanks

I think you must do it manually because not all properties can be copied,
for example the Handle or the Controls properties.

Whopsy,

My answer keeps being thrilling that way, doesn't it? ;-)

Anyway, what I was going to write, wasn't right, anyway.

Armin is right, AFAIK TextBox isn't completely serializable, so you have to
copy property settings the way you already do it.
Using Reflection could be another approach, but that would be breaking a fly
on the wheel...

Why not create a control which inherits from 'TextBox' and sets the
property values?
