See the comment from SAKryukov to solution 1 on 12-Apr-11 ... "changing Enabled for any parent control automatically renders all the children enabled or disabled"

Add all controls to a panel and disable/enable panel.

See the top rated answer from Ed S:

C#

// This code snippet is from the SO thread linked above (by Ed S)
void ChangeEnabled( bool enabled ) 
{ 
    foreach ( Control c in this.Controls ) 
    { 
        c.Enabled = enabled;     
    } 
}

That's correct, my 5.
This is funny: I almost thought about writing recursive variant. :-)
In fact, it would be redundant: changing Enabled for any parent control automatically renders all the children enabled or disabled.
