re-rendering custon control from its own code.

[Gerry Cook]

Is there any way to trigger a re-rendering of a custom control from inside
the control itself. what I want to do is be able to generate different
child control configuarations from input into the custom control. For
example if a user selects a different configuation of the child controls on
the custom control.

Hi Gerry,

Are you writing a composite custom control? From your description it looks
like you're after the CreateChildControls method...

Thanks, Victor. I just discovered a property that automatically refreshes
the custom control: Me.ChildControlsCreated = False It appears as though it
will be what I need though I haven't finished testing it yet.

Yup, setting that property to false will cause your CreateChildControls
logic to be executed next time the fx needs to create your child controls.
