I just extended your code. Here in the ControlDetails classI'm storing the name and control type . While fetching for the particular parent I'm getting the control type from the Collection and called the FindControls method. Hope this solves your problems. private void Form8_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { FindControls(this comboBox2); } List controls = new List (); public void FindControls(Control control ComboBox cmbox) { // ComboBox cb = (ComboBox)fillControl; cmbox.Items.Clear(); for (int i = 0; i { controls.Add(new ControlDetails() { Name = control.Controls[i].Name Type = control.Controls[i] }); cmbox.Items.Add(control.Controls[i].Name); } } private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender EventArgs e) { Control cc = new Control(comboBox2.Text); object t = controls.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Name == comboBox2.Text).Type; FindControls((Control) t comboBox3); } } public class ControlDetails { public string Name { get; set; } public System.Windows.Forms.Control Type { get; set; } }

I haven't looked at the code but you can find a particular child control of panel1 (let's say button1) using its built-in Controls collection as follows: Button btn = panel1.Controls[button1] as Button;
