master page question

[fadetoblack]

I know that I can cycle through the controls of a standard .aspx form using the following:

foreach (Control c in Page.Form.Controls) {

}

What do I use to find the controls of user controls on a master page?

 

[jbenson001]

just check the type as you loop to see if it is a usercontrol.. check typeOF.

The code below doesn't capture the usercontrols yet. What am I missing?

foreach (Control c in Page.Form.Controls) {
if(typeof(UserControl)==c.GetType()){

}
}

        foreach (Control c in Page.Form.Controls)
        {
            if (typeof(UserControl).Equals(c.GetType()))
            {

            }
        }

The if statement still isn't capturing anything

foreach (Control c in Page.Form.Controls) {
if(typeof(UserControl).Equals(c.GetType())){

}
}

You need to recursively loop through the objects..
I don't know C# but I converted some VB code I have used..
See if this works for you ..

    void CheckObjects(Control parent) {
        Control c;
        foreach (c in Parent.Controls) {
            if ((c.GetType() == UserControl)) {
                //DoSomethingHere;
            }
            if ((c.Controls.Count > 0)) {
                CheckObjects(c);
            }
        }
    }

My test was:

foreach (Control c in Page.Form.Controls) {
if(typeof(Button).Equals(c.GetType())){
Response.Write(c.ID());
}
}

I was checking for Buttons. It worked.
Why would you want to access directly the controls in a custom User Control? I am not sure but i think that you must declare the control in the UC as public. I would expose methods instead of accessing them (functions, get/set, etc)

Why I would like to access the uc controls is an attempt to bypass the Event Bubbling concept. I don't understand it well enough to use it and haven't found ANY good examples. I ran across this example for EDP @

using local controls and am trying to adapt it to access the uc controls to assign click handling.

jbenson001: I had to change what you gave me a little to get it past the debugger but still no luck on locating user controls.

private void CheckObjects(Control parent) {
foreach (Control c in parent.Controls) {
if (c.GetType() == typeof(UserControl)) {
string test = c.ID;
}
if (c.Controls.Count > 0) CheckObjects(c);
}
}
