What trouble I'm having setting default buttons on a page (with a master
page).
I got around doing it on a page basis by calling the
SetWizardDefaultButton() routine [see below] from page load. Notice how
messy it looks because I could not find the required button any other way
but by using the id it is given in the source code. I tried every
combination of nested 'findcontrol' methods I could think of, but none
worked??!! It seems to be impossible if the button generated on the fly, as
it seems to be in a wizard control. Is there a simpler and tidier way of
doing this?
My main issue here is how to do in from a custom control? If I am writing a
login control that will be in the corner of my master page, I want to "set
login button as default button if no other control on the page wants to do
the same". The problem is that the login button is again, generated on the
fly as its in a loginview control. This time using the source codes
generated id doesn't seem to work at all. What am I doing wrong??
Routine (that works even if it is untidy) that sets the default button. This
is called in the page load of a page derviced from the master page. But how
would I do the same for a control that is placed on either a page or the
master page itself?:
protected void SetWizardDefaultButton()
{
Control theButton;
int StepIndex = CreateUserWizard1.ActiveStepIndex;
if (StepIndex == 0)
{
theButton =
this.FindControl("ctl00$MainContent$CreateUserWizard1$__CustomNav0$btn_CreateUserButton");
}
else
{
theButton =
this.FindControl("ctl00$MainContent$CreateUserWizard1$CompleteStepContainer$ContinueButton");
}
Master.Page.Form.DefaultButton = theButton.UniqueID;
}
