有没有一种方法可以在Designer中为表单中的所有控件一次设置某个属性？

Question

I want to set a certain property ( Anchor ) of all the controls in my main form at once. There are around 100 controls and I really don't want to change this property for each single control manually.

I know I can select all available controls at once by typing Ctrl + A . The problem then occuring is that the desired property I want to change is not visible in the Properties window. And normally it should be visible because all the controls are a type of Control , shouldn't it?

I also know that I could do it like this:

foreach(Control ctrl in myForm.Controls)
{
   ctrl.Anchor = AnchorStyle.Bottom;
}

But I want to know if thers's a way of doing this using the Designer. Is there any?

通常，如果控件从同一基础派生，则可以一次选择所有控件（使用鼠标单击并拖动或按住Ctrl或在逐个选择它们的同时按住Shift键），然后可以设置它们从控件共享的任何属性。基类。

You can multi-select all controls on the form and see the Anchor property in the Property Grid. When you edit that with multiple controls selected, each selected control will be set to the Anchor value you specify.

But be careful with Ctrl-A--it will select visual controls as well as non-visual components. So if you have any components on your form that don't render in the client area of the form (such as the Timer or FolderBrowserDialog form components), the Ctrl-A will continue to show common properties--but because these components don't have an Anchor property, the Anchor property won't appear. The only properties to appear when multiple controls on a form are selected are those share by all selected controls.
