I am working on software in which I want to clear every thing after completing a specific task, for example, clear all fields, view a list, etc. etc., and I have to write a lot of things that need to be cleaned, like the code for my new button:
private void btnNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtProductCode1.ReadOnly = false;
txtInvoiceNo.ReadOnly = false;
cmbCustoemerType.Enabled = false;
cmbCustomerName.Enabled = false;
button1.Enabled = true;
txtProductCode1.Text = null;
txtWageName.Text = null;
txtWageCost.Text = null;
btnFirst.Visible = false;
btnPrevious.Visible = false;
btnNext.Visible = false;
btnLast.Visible = false;
cmbProductName.Enabled = true;
txtQty.ReadOnly = false;
txtPercant.ReadOnly = false;
txtDiscount.ReadOnly = false;
cmbCustoemerType.Enabled = true;
cmbCustomerName.Enabled = true;
button5.Enabled = true;
btnDelete.Enabled = true;
dtp1.Enabled = true;
btnSave.Text = "&Save";
cmbCustoemerType.Text = null;
cmbCustomerName.Text = null;
txtInvoiceNo.Clear();
txtDiscount.Clear();
txtGrandTotal.Clear();
txtProductName.Clear();
txtSalePrice.Clear();
txtQty.Clear();
txtTotal.Clear();
txtExtraWages.Text = null;
lvExtraWages.Items.Clear();
lvTransaction.Items.Clear();
lblCount.Text = null;
lblNetTotal.Text = null;
txtPercant.Text = null;
txtInvoiceNo.Text = invoice.ToString();
}
Is there a way to get rid of re-writing the code again, for example, I need to enable one thing that I turned off here on a different button, so I need to write the reverse code of this to accomplish this task, and it is really annoying! is there any other way to do this?
EDIT:
tried the following code:
private void btnNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SetTextBoxDefaults();
cmbCustoemerType.Text = null;
cmbCustomerName.Text = null;
cmbCustoemerType.Enabled = false;
cmbCustomerName.Enabled = false;
cmbProductName.Enabled = true;
cmbCustoemerType.Enabled = true;
cmbCustomerName.Enabled = true;
button5.Enabled = true;
btnDelete.Enabled = true;
button1.Enabled = true;
btnFirst.Visible = false;
btnPrevious.Visible = false;
btnNext.Visible = false;
btnLast.Visible = false;
btnSave.Text = "&Save";
lvExtraWages.Items.Clear();
lvTransaction.Items.Clear();
lblCount.Text = null;
lblNetTotal.Text = null;
dtp1.Enabled = true;
txtInvoiceNo.Text = invoice.ToString();
}
private void SetTextBoxDefaults()
{
var textBoxes = GetControls(this, typeof(TextBox));
foreach (var textBox in textBoxes)
{
TextBox.Clear();
}
}
public IEnumerable<Control> GetControls(Control control, Type type)
{
var controls = control.Controls.Cast<Control>();
return controls.SelectMany(ctrl => GetControls(ctrl, type)).Concat(controls).Where(c => c.GetType() == type);
}
but it gives an error on TextBox.Clear();, error - error 4
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBoxBase.Clear()'
Please let me know where I am wrong .. !!
