TextBox.Properties property (Access)

Returns a reference to a control's Properties collection object. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.Properties

expression A variable that represents a TextBox object.

Remarks

The Properties collection object is the collection of all the properties related to a control. Refer to individual members of the collection by using the member object's index or a string expression that is the name of the member object.

The first member object in the collection has an index value of 0, and the total number of member objects in the collection is the value of the Properties collection's Count property minus 1.

Example

To run this code, place a command button named cmdListProperties on a form and paste the following code into the form's Declarations section. Click the command button to print the list of properties in the Debug window.

Private Sub cmdListProperties_Click() 
 ListControlProps Me 
End Sub 
 
Public Sub ListControlProps(ByRef frm As Form) 
 Dim ctl As Control 
 Dim prp As Property 
 
 On Error GoTo props_err 
 
 For Each ctl In frm.Controls 
 Debug.Print ctl.Properties("Name") 
 For Each prp In ctl.Properties 
 Debug.Print vbTab & prp.Name & " = " & prp.Value 
 Next prp 
 Next ctl 
 
props_exit: 
 Set ctl = Nothing 
 Set prp = Nothing 
Exit Sub 
 
props_err: 
 If Err = 2187 Then 
 Debug.Print vbTab & prp.Name & " = Only available at design time."
