About Get All controls in form dynamically

[subashbtechmba]

Hi,

 

I want to get the controls inside a tab page or group box which is in a windows forms in C#.

Ex:

foreach(Controls ctrl in tabPage1.controls)

{

if(ctrl is Label)

{

my code is here

}

}

Above code is the written by me for accesing Label Controls in my form.But i cant retreive Label Control Because it is inside the tabpage.

Is there any solution for this without specifying Groupbox1.Controls or tabpage1.controls

 

Plesae help me with the code

 

Thanks

Hmm.. Shouldn't it work to check in the loop if the ctrl has any controls in it, and then loop through them to? Perhaps create a recursive sub for it or something :)

 

Just a thought, I might be totally wrong:P hehe

As iMP said, you should get something like this:

 

vb.NET

Private Function CheckControls(ByVal control As Control) As Control

        For Each c As Control In control.Controls

            If c.Controls.Count > 0 Then CheckControls(c)

            If TypeOf c Is Label Then

' Do something with c

                Return c

            End If

        Next

        Return Nothing

    End Function

[/Code]

 

or C#

[Code]
private Control CheckControls(Control control)
{
foreach (Control c in control.Controls) {
if (c.Controls.Count > 0) CheckControls(c);
if (c is Label) {
// Do something with c
return c;
}
}
return null;
}
[/Code]
