Loop through Textboxes
I have a winforms app that has 37 textboxes on the screen. Each one is sequentially numbered:
DateTextBox0
DateTextBox1 ...
DateTextBox37
I am trying to iterate through the text boxes and assign a value to each one:
int month = MonthYearPicker.Value.Month;
int year = MonthYearPicker.Value.Year;
int numberOfDays = DateTime.DaysInMonth(year, month);
m_MonthStartDate = new DateTime(year, month, 1);
m_MonthEndDate = new DateTime(year, month, numberOfDays);
DayOfWeek monthStartDayOfWeek = m_MonthStartDate.DayOfWeek;
int daysOffset = Math.Abs(DayOfW开发者_运维百科eek.Sunday - monthStartDayOfWeek);
for (int i = 0; i <= (numberOfDays - 1); i++)
{
//Here is where I want to loop through the textboxes and assign values based on the 'i' value
DateTextBox(daysOffset + i) = m_MonthStartDate.AddDays(i).Day.ToString();
}
Let me clarify that these textboxes appear on separate panels (37 of them). So in order for me to loop through using a foreach, I have to loop through the primary controls (the panels), then loop through the controls on the panels. It starts getting complicated.
Any suggestions on how I can assign this value to the textbox?
To get all controls and sub-controls recursively of specified type, use this extension method:
public static IEnumerable<TControl> GetChildControls<TControl>(this Control control) where TControl : Control
{
var children = (control.Controls != null) ? control.Controls.OfType<TControl>() : Enumerable.Empty<TControl>();
return children.SelectMany(c => GetChildControls<TControl>(c)).Concat(children);
}
usage:
var allTextBoxes = this.GetChildControls<TextBox>();
foreach (TextBox tb in allTextBoxes)
{
tb.Text = ...;
}
You Could loop all the controls in the form asking one by one if it is a "Textbox" y ther return the complete List of them.
public List GetTextBoxes(){
var textBoxes = new List();
foreach (Control c in Controls){
if(c is TextBox){
textBoxes.add(c);
}
}
return textBoxes;
}
You can loop through the textboxes in your form in a fairly simple manner:
Func<ControlCollection, List<TextBox>> SearchTextBoxes = null;
SearchTextBoxes = coll => {
List<TextBox> textBoxes = new List<TextBox>();
foreach (Control c in coll) {
TextBox box = c as TextBox;
if (box != null)
textBoxes.Add(box);
if (c.Controls.Count > 0)
textBoxes.AddRange(SearchTextBoxes(c.Controls));
}
return textBoxes;
};
var tbs = SearchTextBoxes(this.Controls).OrderBy(tb => tb.Name);
Edit: Changed according to new requirements. Not nearly as elegant as the LINQ-solution, of course :)
Since this post seems to resurrect itself from time to time and since the solutions above do not find controls inside of controls, such as in a groupbox, this will find them. Just add your control type:
public static IList<T> GetAllControls<T>(Control control) where T : Control
{
var lst = new List<T>();
foreach (Control item in control.Controls)
{
var ctr = item as T;
if (ctr != null)
lst.Add(ctr);
else
lst.AddRange(GetAllControls<T>(item));
}
return lst;
}
And it's use:
var listBoxes = GetAllControls<ListBox>(this);
foreach (ListBox lst in listBoxes)
{
//Do Something
}
Iterate through controls within form and check name of the control if matched then set Text property as you require.
int i = 0;
foreach (Control contrl in this.Controls) {
if (contrl.Name == ("DateTextBox" + i.ToString())) {
contrl.Text = "requiredtexttobeset";
}
i = i + 1;
}
If you want to do without 'foreach' (If you have specific boxes to adjust/address)
int numControls = Page.Form.Controls.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < numControls; i++)
{
if (Page.Form.Controls[i] is TextBox)
{
TextBox currBox = Page.Form.Controls[i] as TextBox;
currbox.Text = currbox.TabIndex.ToString();
}
}
//THE EASY WAY! Always post easy solutions. It's the best way.
//This code is used to loop through all textboxes on a form for data validation.
//If an empty textbox is found, Set the error provider for the appropriate textbox.
foreach (var control in Controls)
{
if (control is TextBox)
{
//Box the control into a textbox. Not really needed, but do it anyway
var textbox = (TextBox)control;
if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textbox.Text))
{
//Set the errorProvider for data validation
errorProvider1.SetError(textbox, "Data Required!");
textbox.Text = String.Empty; //Clear out the whitespace if necessary
//blnError = true;
}
}
}
You can simply do this mate...
foreach (TextBox txt in this.Panel.Controls.OfType<TextBox>())
{
txt.Text="some value you assign";
}
If your text boxes are on the form directly and not on a Panel then you can replace this.Panel.Controls
with this.Controls
. That should be short and clear enough for you.
After the InitialiseComponents()
call, add the textboxes to a collection member variable on the form. You can then iterate through them in order later on.
You can create a Dictionary
of TextBox
, int
like the following
Dictionary<TextBox, int> textBoxes = new Dictionary<TextBox, int>();
foreach (TextBox control in Controls.OfType<TextBox>())
textBoxes[control] = Convert.ToInt32(control.Name.Substring(11));
Now.. to loop through them..
foreach (var item in textBoxes.Select(p => new { textBox = p.Key, no = p.Value}))
item.textBox.Text = item.no.ToString(); // whatever you want...
Good luck!
Since you already know the name of control, therefore you can search the control by its name.

Other answers just not cutting it for you?
I found this as an answer to a similar question on SO, but I can't find the thread now. It recursively loops through ALL controls of a given type
which are located within a control
. So includes children of children of children of... etc. My example changes the ForeColor
of each TextBox
to Hot Pink!
public IEnumerable<Control> GetAllControlsOfType(Control control, Type type)
{
var controls = control.Controls.Cast<Control>();
return controls.SelectMany(ctrl => GetAllControlsOfType(ctrl, type))
.Concat(controls)
.Where(c => c.GetType() == type);
}
Implementation:
IEnumerable<Control> allTxtBxs = GetAllControlsOfType(this, typeof(TextBox));
foreach (TextBox txtBx in allTxtBxs)
{
txtBx.ForeColor = Color.HotPink;
}
Quite similar to abatishchev's answer(which, for me, only returned first-level child controls), but different enough to merit it's own answer I think.
