sequencing thru views in a layout to enable/disable

[pcbtmr]

how?
I need to sequence thru a number of views in a layout to disable them temporarily. Something like this:
for i=1 to Layout.Views(i)
if View(i) is a button or edittext then view(i).disable
next

Much appreciated!

For i = 0 To Activity.NumberOfViews - 1
   Dim v As View
   v = Activity.GetView(i)
   If v Is Button OR v Is EditText Then v.Enabled = False
Next

That's It!
Thanks!

Hate to say it but didn't work. I have a layout (CalcLayout)of 4 buttons and 4 edit texts but the log(activity.NumberOfViews) returns 1. The main layout has only the single tabhost that loads the 3 layouts. What am I missing?

Thanks.

This code only handles views that added directly to the Activity.
In the case of TabHost it is a bit more complicated. You should add the tabs by calling AddTab2 and add a panel as the parent layout. Call Panel.LoadLayout to load the layout files.

You should then iterate over the three panel views in a code that is similar to the code I posted before.

Got it. Thanks for the response. I think for the headache envisioned, I will explicitly call out the buttons and edit texts and disable/enable. While not elligant (sp), it's only 4 items of each.
