[Gambas-user] Disable controls by Tag

[Jorge Carrión]

¿Perhaps trying sonething like this?

PUBLIC SUB btnQuick_Click()     'toggle button

      DIM hCtl AS Control

      IF btnQuick.Value = TRUE THEN
      FOR EACH hCtl IN FMain.Controls
          TRY hCtl.Enabled = (hCtl.Tag <> "exclude")
      NEXT

it Is not very elegant but it works, I guess.
Regards
Jorge
