Question

i wanted to disable form control from class library, means i added one class named as clsInit method & i called this method when i'm loading the form in main project,so i need find the control which one i wanted to disable.
Is it possible to find loaded form controls in class library?

Answer 1

Form.Controls property is what you need.

You can pass the reference of your form into your library, and access its controls via Controls property.

Answer 2

You may create an object of your form, as:

MyForm frm = new MyForm();

...then select the controls to be disabled:

foreach (Control control in frm.Controls)
{
    if(control.Name == "cboSomeDdn")
        control.Enabled = false;
}

and then load the form (this one :

frm.Load()

or

frm.Show()

If this is a one form application, you may also set this as a starting point:

Application.Run(frm);

Please use this answer as a starting point and not as a copy-paste solution. Also ensure to follow best-practices of development in the language of your choice.

Hope this helps!
