Change Form Control Type

[MTSkull]

Can I convert a Label into a Text Box, and if so how?

You could change the TextBox to readonly and Borders property to None.

Not quite the same.

 

For example. I have a label named "User Name" it gets its text from a login form. My boss decided he does not like the way the program works and wants to be able to enter text where the label displays data. So instead of creating a new control and doing find replace for all references to the old control name, I thought there was a way to select the label and say "I want to change you to a text box." Just trying to save myself some work.

Unfortunately, controls can not be converted in such a manner. The ToolStrip designer supports a feature along these lines, but it is limited to converting ToolStrip controls.
