Question

I'm using TableLayoutPanel as table. Each Table cells has panel controls. Some Panel controls has Label control in it.

When I want to use PANEL controls, I can use

VB

Dim ipanel as panel = TryCast(TableLayoutPanel.Getcontrolfromposition(i,j),panel)
ipanel.backcolor = color.gray ' for example

I can use all CHILD PANEL properties like this in for-next statements. But also, some of child PANEL Controls in the TableLayoutPanel, has other Label controls in it.

How can I use the LABEL controls properties here as?

I have to use for next to scan for all cells of TableLayoutPanel. therefore, I need to reach as
ilable = ipanel.controls (I know writing here is not correct, just to explain What I needed)

Thanks in advance

Ok. I found solution :)

VB

Dim c As Control = Me.TableLayoutPanel1.GetControlFromPosition(i, j)
If c.HasChildren() Then
    Dim pt As Point
    Dim L As Control = c.GetChildAtPoint(pt)
    L.Text = c.Tag
End If
