Clear Checkboxes and Textboxes in Splitcontainer - C#

Anonymous User 4222 23-Dec-2013

I'm attempting to clear all the checkboxes and textboxes in the first panel of my splitcontainer but I'm having no luck as nothing seems to happen.

private void clearSettingsBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (Control c in splitContainer1.Panel1.Controls)
    {
        if (c is CheckBox)
        {
            ((CheckBox)c).Checked = false;
        }
        else if (c is TextBox)
        {
            ((TextBox)c).Clear();
        }
    }
}

Have I missed something?

Hi Ankita,

Actually your code is pretty OK, there should be another problem like wrong panel or more likely there would be another container in your panel, like a GroupBox, which in that case (another container) you should iterate through that container.

In case you have a container inside the panel a simple code could be like this:

            foreach (Control control in splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls)
        {
            if (control is GroupBox)
            {
                foreach (Control child in (control as GroupBox).Controls)
                {
                    if (child is CheckBox)
                    {
                        ((CheckBox)control).Checked = false;
                    }
                    else if (child is TextBox)
                    {
                        (control as TextBox).Clear();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
But if you want to write a more general code, you should check for each container, i.e. GroupBox, Panel etc.
