Copy Label from GroupBox to another GroupBox

Question

I'm going to copy all Labels from a GroupBox to another GroupBox. Here is the code:

        foreach (var ctrl in grpA.Controls)
        {
            if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(Label))
            {
                Label lbl = ctrl as Label;
                grpB.Controls.Add(lbl);
            }
        }

The problem is that all Labels are moved to grpB where as I need to be copied. How can I solve the problem?

Answer 1

Try creating new Label for each Label in other group.

    foreach (var ctrl in grpA.Controls)
    {
        if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(Label))
        {
            Label lbl = ctrl as Label;
            Label b = new Label();
            // copy required properties
            b.Text = lbl.Text
            b.TextAlign = lbl.TextAlign;
            // ... other properties

            grpB.Controls.Add(b);
        }
    }
