Search through controls in Page

[^MisterJingo^]

Hi all,

I think i'm missing something here.

I have a page with a number of textboxes in it and I simply want to
enable or disable them on a button click. I first search through page:

foreach (Control ctrl in Page.Controls)

and then to check their type I:

Response.Write(ctrl.GetType().ToString() + "<br/>");

Every control is given as type "System.Web.UI.LiteralControl", and so i
cannot cast to WebControl and access the Enabled property. None of the
controls are in panels, so the above should see them?
What am I doing wrong here? Any help would be appreciated;

Search the Form instead of the Page.

I just tried the following and it seemed to work:

foreach(Control ctrl in Page.FindControl("form1").Controls)

Hi Kevin,

I just worked that out, thanks :). I think I need more caffeine this
morning!
