[C#] checking Checkboxes in a for loop.

[Bi0haZarD]

Is there anyway of getting C# to check, checkboxes while in a loop.. without making them at runtime.. with "new checkboxes()"

imagine a GUI with 8 checkboxes, and 1 button...

checkBox1

checkBox2

checkBox3.. etc..

and a button that does something similar to:

for (int i = 1; i <= 8; i++)
{
  checkBox(i).Checked = true;
}

is there anyway to get that too check each checkbox since i can't figure out (or if it's even possible) to get it to use the value of "i" to check the box...

sure i could use a switch to do it.. but i'd like to not make my code messy by doing that. And doing checkBox(i) would be a lot cleaner..

check it out

List<CheckBox> s = new List<CheckBox>();
			s.Add(checkBox1);
			s.Add(checkBox2);


			foreach (CheckBox c in s)
			{			   
				c.Checked = true;
			}

You can iterate through the Controls collection of the Form (or whatever parent Control the checkboxes are in) like this:

foreach (Control control in Controls)
{
	CheckBox chkBox = control as CheckBox;
	if (chkBox != null)
	{
		chkBox.Checked = true;
	}
}
