Default Group Controls For One Event

There are different ways to achieve that. Are the specified controls al
textboxes or.. what makes the distinction.

The 'tag' property of the control is often used for checking groups of
controls.

Example:

alle the controls that have "hide" in them should be hidden after a certain
action.
set every tag of the specified controls to "Hide" and then the following
under the event handler
code:

dim ctl as control
for each ctl in me
if ctl.tag="hide" then
ctl.visible=false
else
'you could do something alternative here otherwise leave the else out
end if
next

I would like to be able to group a bunch of text boxes on my form so that if
something changes in any of them I can use the onchange event for the group
and not have to add code for all textboxes. Is this possible? Thanks.
