accessing controls in container object

Question

i want to access each and every controls in a form. for this i have written this code below. public void clearText(Form frm){ foreach (Control cnt in frm.Controls){ if (cnt is TextBox) cnt.Text = ; } } this works if i dont have any container(groupboxpanel) control in the form. for e.g in a form if i have 5 textbox in that 3 are placed directly on the form and 2 are placed inside container control using the above function i can access only 3 text boxes. how can i access each and every controls in a form.

hi here is the complete code I have made a recursive function........... private void clearAllText(Control container) { foreach (Control cnt in container.Controls) { if (cnt is TextBox) { ((TextBox)cnt).Text = ; } else if (cnt is GroupBox || cnt is Panel || cnt is TabControl ) { clearAllText(cnt); } } } call this function whenever you want to access all controls of your form clearAllText(this);
