# Clear Checkboxes and Textboxes in Splitcontainer - C#

I'm attempting to clear all the checkboxes and textboxes in the first [panel](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11988/restructuring-corporate-offenses-government-appointed-panel-suggests-in-house-adjudication-system) 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.
