You will encounter a situation where you would like to disable all the controls inside a container control except for one. Now, as simple as this sounds, it can be a lot of repetitive coding where you set the controls enabled or disabled one by one.
One way to circumvent this tedious process is by using the following code:
private void DisableControls(Control con) { foreach (Control c in con.Controls) { DisableControls(c); } con.Enabled = false; } private void EnableControls(Control con) { if (con != null) { con.Enabled = true; EnableControls(con.Parent); } }
And call it this way:
DisableControls(this); EnableControls(CONTROL_TO_ENABLE);
