How can i find out how many objects are on a form? want to loop through the objects and find the textbox and be able to enable or disable..... using C#.net 3.5 Thanks

Use the controls collection for the form; for example with five textboxes this will set all of the text properties to Ziglofrock then will find the textbox named textBox3 and set its text property to Bagette and then it will find the textbox named textBox4 and disable it. foreach ( Control c in this .Controls) { if (c.GetType().ToString() == System.Windows.Forms.TextBox ) { ((System.Windows.Forms. TextBox )(c)).Text = Ziglofrock ; if (((System.Windows.Forms. TextBox )(c)).Name == textBox3 ) ((System.Windows.Forms. TextBox )(c)).Text = Bagette ; if (((System.Windows.Forms. TextBox )(c)).Name == textBox4 ) ((System.Windows.Forms. TextBox )(c)).Enabled = false ; } }
