Hello,

In other environments (Delphi and .NET have things like ComponentCount
and FindControl) I've used prior to Java, I could automatically find
all the controls (or only the controls of a certain type, like
checkboxes for example) on a form by passing that form off to some
built in methods which know how to iterate through all the controls
contained within that form.

I haven't been able to find an equivalent feature in Java.  In my Java
app, if I have 5 checkboxes on a panel, I would prefer to pass just
the panel to my method for processing (and have checkbox state
determined there) rather than myMethod (cb1, cb2, cb3, cb4, cb5).

How is this done in Java?

Thanks!
