HowTo loop through HTML Table WebControls?

[Andreas Klemt]

Hello,
I have this:

<table id="myTable" runat="server">
<tr>
<td><asp:labe l id="lblText" runat="server"> </asp:label>
<asp:button id="btn1" runat="server"> </asp:button>
<asp:button id="btn2" runat="server"> </asp:button>
<asp:button id="btn3" runat="server"> </asp:button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now I want to loop through like this:

For Each ctl As Control In Me.myTable.Cont rols
If TypeOf ctl Is Button Then
CType(ctl, Button).Enabled = False
End If
Next

But this doesn't work because in Me.myTable.Cont rols
there is only 1 Control. Why is this wrong and what is the correct way?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Andreas,

If you looked, you'd see what the type of the one control is. That will tell
you what's going on.

Hello John,
and why does this not work?

For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls ?

Thanks,
Andreas

It would be better to keep a question to one newsgroup. Here's the answer I
posted in the other group:

Don't forget that your buttons are inside a table which has its own controls,
so you have to dig a little deeper before you start looping for the buttons.
You might want to use FindControl to get closer to the action.

It helps to turn tracing on in a page to see where controls are really nested.

Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim ctl As Control
Dim btn As System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on
For Each ctl In myTable.Control s(0).Controls(0 ).Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on Then
btn = ctl
btn.Enabled = False
End If
Next
End Sub

Does this help>
