Newbie: How do I use Container to hide all Controls ?

Question

Hello I notice that my Windows Applications have a private variable System.ComponentModel.Container components I had assumed that all my Controls (buttons textBoxes) would be .Added to this Container. but i don't see it in the generated code. It does not seem that Controls are ever added to it. I was hoping to iterate through components to perfom a hid of all my controls something like:- foreach(Component TheComponent in components.Components) { TheComponet.hide() } but the components container is still always null and Component does not expose any .hide method anyway. So what use is the container object to me ? Can anyone suggest how I can easily iterate through all my Controls Many Thanks Julias

Its OK I sorted it. The Controls property of the Form can be used to iterate through all the Controls So dunno what the use Container components attribute does for me.
