Looping over XAML defined labels
If your labels are all named consistently, you can do it like this:
var numberOfLabels = 40;
for(int i = 1; i <= numberOfLabels; i++)
{
var labelName = string.Format("label{0}", i);
var label = (Label) this.FindName(labelName);
label.Content = i * 10;
}
If you work with binding it is easy. You just have to keep your label content in an ObservableCollection<string>
on your ViewModel. And then, you can do whatever you want with them, in your case iteration.
Edit 1:
Also your xaml should be something like:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding MyLabelValues}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<sdk:Label Content="{Binding Mode=TwoWay}"></sdk:Label>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
Using this code
public static IEnumerable<T> FindVisualChildren<T>(DependencyObject depObj) where T : DependencyObject
{
if (depObj != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(depObj); i++)
{
DependencyObject child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(depObj, i);
if (child != null && child is T)
{
yield return (T)child;
}
foreach (T childOfChild in FindVisualChildren<T>(child))
{
yield return childOfChild;
}
}
}
}
You can enumerate all controls by type.
foreach (Label lbl in FindVisualChildren<Label>(window))
{
// do something with lbl here
}
