c# window Forms

Question

Hi , 

I have a requirement to retrieve "Form Name" and Form title [Text Property ] of all the forms present in window application

upon the launch of "EXE",i.e,during runtime

Someone please tell me how to do that .I tried this 

List<string> GetForms()
           {
            var types = Assembly.LoadFile(textBox2.Text).GetTypes();

            List<string> FormsCol = new List<string>();
            foreach( Type t in types)
            {




                if (t.BaseType.ToString() == "System.Windows.Forms.Form")
                    FormsCol.Add(t.FullName);
              
            }
            return FormsCol;
           }

By this,However i am only able to fetch Form names..an i need text / title also.

Answer 1

If all your forms are open(not hidden), you can use Application.OpenForms property. It will return a FormsCollection. Then you can iterate through these and get all form properties you need.

Well, if some of the forms are hidden, this link should help.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Answer 2

Try this Code

            Type formType = typeof(Form);
            foreach (Type type in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes())
                if (formType.IsAssignableFrom(type))
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(type.Name);

                }

Happy Coding, RDRaja
