How to get the button control of a Panel

[gkumar]

I have a panel with around 15 buttons assigned to it as parent. How can I get the button control to access its properties like visible etc.
Through the direct member of button I can do that. But I want like using iterator. I tired like

For nPanelViewCount = SchematicPanel.NumberOfViews -1 To 0 Step -1
SchematicPanel.GetView(nPanelViewCount).Visible = False
Next

But Button controls are not returns as Views of panel.

How Can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Your code is correct. Buttons are also "views" and should return by this code.

I have one image view also in that panel. I am able to retrieve that. But buttons are missing from panel view count list. Buttons are added in the designer window with bitmap background. Any idea what I am missing here?

Thanks,

Make sure that the buttons are actually children of the panel.

Erel,

Now its working. The reason for not to work is after adding the panel and its child button views, again I was initialising panel and adding it to the activity and Initialising it via the Initialize() method in the Activity_Create() method.

Just wanted to know how it prevents the panel from retrieving its button views?

You should not call Initialize on views added with the designer. Otherwise the variable will point to a new view.

hello,
I just have maybe the same problem,
I would like to get 3 panels in my application,
and those had views inside like buttons.

Where and how do you define your panels ?
In the Designer you can use Generate Members

... where should I put or write the code that I want to affect to those button for example.

In the module where you have the panels.

I'd suggest you to read the Beginner's Guide .

Best regards.
