Panels and defaultbuttons

Sensei_D · June 12th, 2006, 02:35 AM

Imar Spaanjaars from www.spaanjaars.com adviced me to open a topic here so here goes!
I was wondering why I can't set the defaultbutton property of a panel without the error: "The DefaultButton of '-panelname-' must be the ID of a control of type IButtonControl"

I've created a little example to clearify me question:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/Main.master" Title="Artikels" Theme="CDB_Main" %>

<%@ Register Src="~/UserControls/Datum_Invoer.ascx" TagName="Datum_Invoer" TagPrefix="uc2" %>

<script runat="server">

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

    End Sub

    Protected Sub fvNieuwsItems_ItemUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewUpdateEventArgs) _
        Handles fvNieuwsItems.ItemUpdating
        e.NewValues("GebruikersNaam") = User.Identity.Name
    End Sub

    Protected Sub fvNieuwsItems_ItemUpdated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewUpdatedEventArgs) _
        Handles fvNieuwsItems.ItemUpdated
        Response.Write("Updated!")
    End Sub

    Protected Sub fvNieuwsItems_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
        Handles fvNieuwsItems.DataBound
        Dim _fvNieuwsItem As FormView = CType(sender, FormView)
        If _fvNieuwsItem.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit Then
            Dim _btnToFocusOn As Button = CType(_fvNieuwsItem.FindControl("btnUpdate"), Button)
            Me.Panel2.DefaultButton = _btnToFocusOn.ClientID
        End If
    End Sub

    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Response.Write("testing")
    End Sub
</script>

This should be right, right

Hi Sensei_D,

Would it be possible to create a simple but reproducible scenario for this?

The code you posted is impossible to test, as it depends on external user controls and business logic that we don't have...

It's hard to create a small example without connecting to my database which you don't have, but the idea is really simple. Let me try to explain a way to create a simple example;
- Create 2 panels
- Place something in panel 1 with a button and set that as defaultbutton
- Place a Formview in panel 2
- Bind the formview to some source
- Put the Formview in update-mode
- Make sure the Formview contains a update button

Now, the part that doesn't work for me is making the updatebutton inside the Formview the defaultbutton of panel2

Otherwise maybe you could give me an example which works for you, so I can test it...

I could make it work by using UniqueID, as suggested in my article, but only in a normal ASPX page.

As soon as I moved the code to a Master Page, things broke down and I got the same error you got.

Not sure why we're getting this error though; haven't found a solution yet...

Aw, thats too bad. Thnx for trying tho. I did fix it with javascript, but it would have been nicer with asp.net ofcourse.

Oh my, you would have thought M$ would have made this a bit easier. I've spent the last 4 hours :( trying to get this to work & I've ended up here :)

Could Sensei_D (or some other kind soul) please point me to how this can be done in JavaScript?

I've managed to do it after reading this:

Is there's a solution for this problem?

Or even simpler : How can I make this code work in a user control inside a masterpage ?

User Control :

<asp:Panel ID="i_pnlFvInformations" runat="server" BorderColor="#ff0000" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="2px">
 
 
 
 
 <asp:Label ID="i_lbl" runat="server"></asp:Label>
 <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
 
 
 
 
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="i_pnlFvInformations2" runat="server" BorderColor="#ff0000" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="2px">
 
 
 
 
 <asp:Label ID="i_lbl2" runat="server"></asp:Label>
 <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button2_Click" />
 
 
 
 
</asp:Panel>

Code Behind :

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 i_pnlFvInformations.DefaultButton = Button1.UniqueID;
 i_pnlFvInformations2.DefaultButton = Button2.UniqueID;
 }
 protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 i_lbl.Text = "test1";
 }
 protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 i_lbl2.Text = "test2";
 }

Using this code I have the error (in french) : Le DefaultButton de 'i_pnlFvInformations' doit Ãªtre l'ID d'un contrÃ´le de type IButtonControl.

Can anyone help to set the DefaultButton of a panel at runtime?

Thanks in advance.

Would you be so kind as to tell us what that error message says in English?
