    Does anyone know if there is a way to access skin control through code behind in custom module?  The skin is a custom skin as well with .ascx file with asp.net controls in it.

          I have found a solution - hopefully someone else can benifit from this.  This can be used to get all controls or filter through list specifying control type(Label, TextBox, etc), or if control is visible or not.  

          var controlList = this.GetAllControls(this.Page).Where(x => x.Visible == true).OfType<yourControlType>().ToList();

          private IEnumerable<Control> GetAllControls(Control control)
                  {
                      var controls = control.Controls.Cast<Control>();
                      return controls.SelectMany(ctrl => GetAllControls(ctrl)).Concat(controls);
                  }
