Answer : How to make all the controls readonly at runtime in c# windows form

foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)
            {
                if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(Panel))
                {
                    if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(UserDefinedTextBox))
                    {
                        UserDefinedTextBox  tb = ctrl as UserDefinedTextBox;
                        tb.ReadOnly = true;
                    }
                }
            }
if you want to get at the controls on the panel you have to iterate through them

1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14:

foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls) { if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(Panel)) { foreach(Control panelControl in ctrl.Controls) { if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(UserDefinedTextBox)) { UserDefinedTextBox tb = ctrl as UserDefinedTextBox; tb.ReadOnly = true; } } } }
