    I need to get all the controls from the radform to get some properties and configure it in runtime.
    The components i have in the form is:
    - RadTextbox
    - RadMulticolumnCombobox
    - RadPageView
    - RadLabel
    - RadGridView.

    How i can get all controls and childs in the form?

    i got the solution:

    i create this function to get all controls from a type:
    public IEnumerable<Control> GetAll(Control control, Type type)
     {
                var controls = control.Controls.Cast<Control>();
     
                return controls.SelectMany(ctrl => GetAll(ctrl, type))
                                          .Concat(controls)
                                          .Where(c => c.GetType() == type);
     }

    and use this to get the control and do some operations:
    var q = GetAll(this, typeof(RadTextBox));
    foreach (RadTextBox frtb in q)
    {
       //operations with the control here
    }
