Enumerate .Net control's items generically (MenuStrip, ToolStrip, StatusStrip)

Question

I\'ve got some code that will generically get all Controls in a form and put them in a list. Here\'s some of the code:

        private List Ge         


        

Answer 1

ToolStripControlHost might contain a Control:

if (c is ToolStrip)
    foreach (ToolStripItem item in EnumerateTree(c, "Items"))
        if (item is ToolStripControlHost)
            AddControlsToList(
                new Control[] { ((ToolStripControlHost)item).Control },
                controlList);

...that's if you change argument 1 to type IEnumerable and write your own EnumerateTree function (I think it's great to have one good generic EnumerateTree method).
