I think because they don't inherit Control class, as a result they're
not identified as controls.
See which classes/interfaces they implement. For example ToolTip class
inherits Component class, not control:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...s.tooltip.aspx

So, you can loop Components to get them as follows:

For Each comp As System.Componen tModel.Componen t _
In Me.components.C omponents
' Tooltip and ContextMenuStri p will be found here
Next

Hope this helps,

Re: How to get all the controls on form and non-form?

You are a expert, thank you, but if this code is in moulde sub, for example:

Public sub AAA(Byval FormName as Form)
For Each comp As System.Componen tModel.Componen t In
FormName.compon ents.Components
' Tooltip and ContextMenuStri p will be found here
Next
End Sub

The code above will not work if replace "Me" with "FormName", why?
Thank you

Because the 'components' field in a form is Private, therefore it is
visible only from within the form.

Thanks for the feedback,

For the problem, as Jack said, "components " variable supplied with
Private access modifier within that form. To call through other form,
you need to call the loop from other form using "Me".
