title: Enable or Disable multiple controls in Silverlight
body: <p>What is considered the best way of enabling or disabling multiple controls in Silverlight at the same time (textbox, combobox, autocompletebox and the like)?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I suppose I could bind the "IsEnabled" property of each control to a boolean property.  That property only exists for interactive controls and not textblocks.</p></li>
  <li><p>I could loop through the children recursively and set their properties appropriately, but that seems inelegant.</p></li>
  <li><p>Ideally, I'd like to just set some disable-like property on the parent container of the controls, giving even the TextBlocks a disabled look similar to a Windows form.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is there a way to just disable the parent container?</p>
