Question

I have a dev express report. I want to search for all controls on the report.

The normal convension in windows forms would be:

foreach (Control c in Control.ControlCollection)
{
         ........
}

Unfortunately this will not work in Dev Express form. Any solutions?

Thanks

There are lots of such questions regarding to find control in report or highlighting cell on mouse over etc..

xrLabel1.Text = ((XRLabel)((XtraReport)xrSubreport1.ReportSource).FindControl("xrLabel1", false)).Text;

    Dim collection As XRControlCollection = (CType(CType(sender, DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReport),
Q274540.XtraReport1)).Detail.Controls
    For i As Integer = 0 To collection.Count - 1
        If TypeOf collection(i) Is XRLabel Then
            If (CType(collection(i), XRLabel)).DataBindings.Count <> 0 Then
                'your code here
            End If
        End If
