Try something along the lines of this pseudo-code, using recursion:

this.CallRecursive(this.Controls);

public void CallRecursive(ControlCollection oControl)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < oControl.Count; i++)
	{
		object o = oControl[i];
		if (o is "any of the container controls")
		{
			Control c = (Control)o;
			this.CallRecursive(c.Controls);
		}
		else
			// do whatever you needed to do
	}
}
