Interate with objects

[Victor Pereira]

Hi can i iterate with objects ? i mean, if i have button1, button2, button3
and i wanna change it´s text, can i do something like this ?

for(int i = 0;i < 3;i++)
this.button.text = "Text = " + i;

Thanks in advance,

Victor

No, you have to put the objects in some aggregate structure first.

Having said that, you'll find that all controls on your form are
already in the aggregate structure "Controls", so you can loop through
that:

foreach (Control c in this.Controls)
{
Button b = c as Button;
if (b != null)
{
... do something with button b ...
}
}

The easiest thing to do is make an array:

Button[] buttons;

and then populate it. Then you can have your code *exactly* as above
(but with buttons rather than button).
