Hi. I've created a "numeric text box" that inherits from the TextBox
control. I've given it a Replace method that looks like this:

Public Sub Replace(ByVal TB As TextBox)

Me.Size = TB.Size
Me.Location = TB.Location

TB.Parent.Controls.Add(Me)
TB.Parent.Controls.Remove(TB)

End Sub

Callers can say NumericTextBox.Replace(NormalTextBox), which works
fine.

The thing is, instead of copying just the Size and Location properties
explicitly, what I'd like to do is iterate through the TB object's
properties and copy each of them from TB to Me. Is there a way to do
this? Thanks.
 
Hi,
You will need to use Reflection and use the Propertyinfo class to get the
different proerties of a textbox and then get to its values.
