Is there any way to use for loop for textBoxes.Text in C#?-CodePudding

I have 10 textboxes(tb1,tb2,tb3,...) and when I press the button , the 10 textboxes will be filled with values based on the startingNum input by user, e.g:10, by addition ( 1, 2, 3,..) according to the sequence of the 10 textboxes.

My code is working but is it possible to use loops or any better way to improve my codes?

private void genBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{                        
    firstNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   0).ToString();
    SecondNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   1).ToString();
    thirdNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   2).ToString();
    fourthNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   3).ToString();
    fifthNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   4).ToString();
    sixNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   5).ToString();
    seventhNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   6).ToString();
    eighthNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   7).ToString();
    ninthNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   8).ToString();
    tenthNum.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   9).ToString();
}

enter image description here

Maybe you could put them in an array or list and use this LINQ approach:

var allTextBoxes = new[]{firstNum, SecondNum, thirdNum, ... };
int intFirst = 10; // actually user input
allTextBoxes.Take(intFirst).Select((txt, index) => (txt, index)).ToList()
    .ForEach(x => x.txt.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   x.index).ToString());

Of course you should add the TextBoxes to the array only once and not in this method.

You can loop on textboxes doing :

int i=0;
foreach ( TextBox tb in this.Controls.OfType<TextBox>()) {
  tb.Text = alphaBox.Text   (intFirst   i).ToString();
  i  ;
}
