Using VS2005
Can anyone help in making this code more generic
private void fnClear(Control _parent){
//for all the controls on the tabcontrol foreach (Control _ctl in _parent.Controls){
if (_ctl.HasChildren){
foreach (Control _child1 in _ctl.Controls){
if (_child1.HasChildren){
foreach (Control _child2 in _child1.Controls){
//do the tab control if (_child2.GetType() == typeof(TextBox))((
TextBox)_child2).Clear(); if (_child2.GetType() == typeof(ComboBox))((
ComboBox)_child2).SelectedIndex = -1; if (_child2.GetType() == typeof(MaskedTextBox))((
MaskedTextBox)_child2).Clear(); if (_child2.GetType() == typeof(DateTimePicker))((
DateTimePicker)_child2).Text = "";}
}
}
}
}
}

When the time comes to clear them, enumerate through the list(s).
If it has to be dynamic, then doing this method will only have the containers enumerated once, the penalty paid at startup and not for every clear.

private void ClearControl(Control control)
{
if (control is TextBoxBase)
(control as TextBoxBase).Clear();
if (control is ComboBox)
(control as ComboBox).SelectedIndex = -1;
if (control is DateTimePicker)
(control is DateTimePicker).Text = string.Empty;
foreach(Control child in control.Controls)
ClearControl(child);
