Hi everyone,
what is the best way for me at runtime to go through objects and figure out all objects that are windows forms or user controls?
I know that all controls inhert the control class, but how do I discover the hierarchy at runtime, do I loop through the fields collection ( with bindingflags as instance and public ) ?
and I do want to limit the collection to user controls and windows forms, so as to weed out a button, or a panel!!.
Thanks everyone.

private void FindControls()
{
foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)
{
MessageBox.Show(ctrl.Name.ToString());
}
}

...
foreach(Form f in Application.OpenForms)
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(f.Name);
DumpCtrls(f,1);
}
...
private void DumpCtrls(Control ctrl,int level)
{
foreach(Control c in ctrl.Controls)
{
if(c is UserControl)
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("{0,"+3*level+"}{1}",string.Empty,c.Name));
DumpCtrls(c,level+1);
}
}

public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
findUserControls(this.Controls);
}
private void findUserControls(Control.ControlCollection ctls) {
foreach (Control ctl in ctls) {
if (ctl is UserControl) Console.WriteLine(ctl.Name);
findUserControls(ctl.Controls);
}
}
}

| | k.m Friday, September 11, 2009 7:09 PM | HI K.M,
This only gives me the name, I amlooking for a way to see if this is either a user control or a windows form, as in it inherits usercontrol or windows.form class.
I am looking for a good way to do that.
