Refer to vb.net control in panel on tab control

I'm trying to refer to a control by a variable name. The control is located in a panel within a tab control.

I can refer to a control if it's on the parent form like this:

Me.Controls("TextBoxName").Text = "test text"

Is there an easy way of referring to any control regardless of where it is?

Failing that, how do I loop through all the controls to find it? - I'm not sure how to get a control that's on a tab.

Thanks!

Here as per @dr.null refered you, You can just find control by putting control name directly

Here is Code for your reference

 Dim Controls() As Control

        Controls= Me.Controls.Find("TextBox2", True)

        If Not IsNothing(Controls) Then
            For Each cntrl As Control In Controls
                cntrl.Text = "text here "
            Next

        End If

Here you do not need to check panel name as windows form does not allow to enter duplicate control name
