How to browse all controls/containers of a windows form using reflection

[Asgorath]

Hi

In this example i am using System.Reflection to disable several types of controls.

Imports System.Reflection
 
 
Public Sub DisableAllControls(ByVal f As Form)
 
        Dim myForm As Type = f.GetType()
        Dim fields As FieldInfo() = myForm.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.NonPublic)
        For Each field As FieldInfo In fields
            Console.WriteLine(field.FieldType.Name)
            If field.FieldType.Name.ToLower = "textbox" Then
                Dim t As TextBox = DirectCast(field.GetValue(f), TextBox)
                t.Enabled = False
            End If
            If field.FieldType.Name.ToLower = "combobox" Then
                Dim t As ComboBox = DirectCast(field.GetValue(f), ComboBox)
                t.Enabled = False
            End If
            If field.FieldType.Name.ToLower = "button" Then
                Dim t As Button = DirectCast(field.GetValue(f), Button)
                t.Enabled = False
            End If
 
            If field.FieldType.Name.ToLower = "listbox" Then
                Dim t As ListBox = DirectCast(field.GetValue(f), ListBox)
                t.Enabled = False
            End If
 
        Next
    End Sub
