copied!<p>In <strong><em>WinForms</em></strong> this is very easy ... just grab the WinForms container and then prob the '.Controls' property and iterate over the collection of controls returned.</p> <pre><code> foreach (System.Windows.Forms.Control ctrl in form.Controls) { if (ctrl.Name == "tabPageControl") { // do something with 'tabPageControl object' } { </code></pre> <p>As you can see in WinForms its dead easy to get access at the global container to return a 'ControlCollection' and then iterate through or even deeper if its a panel or something like that. Once you have found what you want are simply building a list of what can be found then do something with your list or your control.</p> <p>In <strong><em>WPF</em></strong>, this is done slightly differenty. I don't have extensive WPF experience but after 15 mins of playing about I came up with this:</p> <pre><code> private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // cast out Grid object. Grid grd = (Grid) this.Content; // do simple testing to find out what the type is. string s = grd.ToString(); // in VS, in debug mode, hover 'grd.Children' and Smart Tool Tip that pops // it will tell exactly under a 'count' property how many controls there are sitting // on the global container. For me it was just 1, my Button. foreach (UIElement child in grd.Children) { // do some more testing to make sure have got the right control. pref in an If statement but anyhooo. String sss = child.GetType().FullName; // cast out the appropriate type. Button myWpfButton = (Button)child; } } </code></pre> <p>I hope thats enought to get you started.</p>
