Hi,

Can I Get Collection of controls in a form having a certain property value ?

Like :

Get all Textboxes with Text="MyText"

I know we can get this by looping through all controls in a form and check the property value by reflection. But it is too costly if a form has more controls. Is there any other ways ?

Hi ,

Please try this code

C#

Form frm = this; // please set the form you are searching from
IEnumerable<textbox> items = frm.Controls.OfType<textbox>().Where(I => I.Text == "myText");

For search within nested childs do it recursively.

Hope this help.
