Question

i have this situation, i have a winform which has arround 10 to 15 lable and comboboxes which are all not visible. now at runtime i am passing a how many to of these to be activated? their name properties are from lable1 to lable16 and combobox1 to combobox16. i am using the following code only to test if i can find the controls but it seems to fail all, ho and by the was these controls and comboboxes are over a pannel.

the following is the code i used:

foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls) 
            { 
                if (ctrl is Label) 
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(((Label)ctrl).Text); 
                } 
          }

You have actually sort of answered your own question…
You don’t find the controls in this.Controls but Panel1.Controls 🙂
