enumerate the contols of a form

oliv

I want to access to several controls of a form in a function . You can do that in C# :

foreach( Control ctrl in this.Controls )
 {
 if ( ctrl.Name == name ) // Ou Tag.
 return ctrl;}

but in fastreport I have this error message :

"Impossible d'effectuer un cast d'un objet de type 'FastReport.Dialog.ButtonControl' en type 'System.Windows.Forms.Control'."

How can I do the same in fastreport

thank you

Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to do the same thing...

So I figured this out on my own.... here is the code to do this in VB

for each o as object in Report.AllObjects
        if typeof(o) is TextObject then 
             dim txt as TextObject = directcast(o,TextObject)
             'Now do what you want with txt
        end if
next
