If you want change controls outside of form, then create a public property or method which do it, instead of making controls public

Public Class MyForm
    Inherits Form

    Private _MyCheckBoxControl As CheckBox
    Private _MyTextBoxControl As TextBox

    Private _IsGroupOfControlsEnabled As Boolean
    Public Property IsGroupOfControlsEnabled As Boolean
    Get
        Return _IsGroupOfControlsEnabled As Boolean
    End Get
    Set (value As Boolean)
        _IsGroupOfControlsEnabled = value
        'Update controls
        _MyCheckBoxControl.Enabled = _IsGroupOfControlsEnabled 
        _MyTextBoxControl.Enabled = _IsGroupOfControlsEnabled 
    End Set

End Class

If your meaning from "enable/disable" is "preventing user from changing them", then you can do this:

THE_NAME_OF_CONTROL.Enabled = False 'Disable a control with THE_NAME_OF_CONTROL Name

And

THE_NAME_OF_CONTROL.Enabled = True 'Enable a control with THE_NAME_OF_CONTROL Name

Or you can put all of your controls in a "Group Box" and disable/enable whole group box.
