Uncheck all

[supportMIB]

I found this code of C# on the web to uncheck all checked boxes.

Is there a way to convert it to powershell?

I'm sure I can figure it all out if I could just understand how to do the checkbox chkbox = ctrl as checkbox; part and have all checkboxes assigned to a variable

private void UncheckAll(Control ctrl)
{
CheckBox chkBox = ctrl as CheckBox;
if (chkBox == null)
{
foreach (Control child in ctrl.Controls)
{
UncheckAll(child);
}
}
else
{
chkBox.Checked = false;
}
}

Yes, all c# can be written in powershell.

In PowerShell - same code:

$groupbox1.Controls | %{ $_.Checked = $false}

Perfect, thanks!

For ungrouped controls on a form:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $form1.Controls |
2.     ForEach-Object{
3.         if($_ -is [System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox]){
4.             $_.Checked = $false
5.     }
6. }

Do you really need to do this recursively?

The groupbox method actually works perfectly. I have a few group boxse with about 50 checkboxes apiece. The first example is perfect!
