Button.Click

NaiDanac · May 20, 2004

I've got a strange problem. I have server controls in my .aspx page, but they don't seem to fire up.

For example, I have two controls, button1 and button2. When I click on button1, button2.visible = false.

If I put that code in the button1_click procedure it doesn't do much:

Code:

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Button2.Visible = False
    End Sub

However, when I put the Button2.Visible = False in the page load sub procedure, it does get executed (when the page loads)

Code:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
.....
        Button2.Visible = False
....

Any reason why?

Nail: The following code worked just fine:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB"%>
<%@Import Namespace = "Microsoft.VisualBasic"%>
<script runat="server">
Sub btn1_Click(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
  btn2.visible="false"
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test button</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="Form1" runat="server">
  <asp:button id="btn1" runat="server" text="btn1" OnClick="btn1_Click"/>
  <asp:button id="btn2" runat="server" text="btn2"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

..so on first glance there doesn't seem to be a thing wrong with what you have; removing "Private" changes nothing; as expected -- hard to say what it could be -- paste the above in Notepad and see if it behaves.
Could it be related to the Page Load --> btnClick --> preRender ordering??
