Reset a form?

[Martin Williams]

If you have a form with multiple controls e.g. radio buttons, checkboxes,
etc., is there a way that you can reset the entire form to its original
state, other than setting an instance of the form to "Nothing" then
redeclaring it? Thanks.

You may use a For Each.. statement to loop/reset the controls on the form.

The best way to do this is to make an Initization function that you call
from Sub New. Put in there all the code to load the form insted of doing it
through the designer (which puts in into InitializeComponent). Then you
will have a function you can call to reset your own form.

Quick and dirty: Clear the form's 'Controls' collection and re-populate it
by calling the form's 'Sub InitializeComponent'.
