Hi,

I have two frames with webforms.
In the top frame I have a Button,
in the bottom frame I have a DataGrid.
I want to set top frames Button Enabled property to true or false depending on if I have selected or deselected a row in the bottom frames DataGrid.

How is that done?

Regards,
Peter

You need to employ javascript to do this. The syntax is something along these lines...

window.top.frameName.formName.buttonName.enabled = true|false

Hi Planoie,
I'm new to this.
When I'm trying your suggestion I'm not able to see the frames name unless I write the javascript in the frames Html-code. And I'm not able to see the forms name neither.

I got two webforms Webform1 and Webform2. In Webform1 I have placed the DataGrid and in Webform2 the buttons. The ID of the topFrame is top1 and the ID of the bottomFrame is bottom1. The bottomFrame holds Webform1.aspx and the topFrame Webform2.aspx.
Do I have to declare my Webforms and buttons somewhere else or in another matter?

Regards,
Peter

The javascript needs to be in the HTML. That's the only place it will work.

What do you mean by "I'm not able to see the frames name"?

If I have the DataGrids Select Event in Webform1 and try to write the javacode that you suggested in the HTML-code behinde Webform1, I will get suggestions of what to chose when i write a dot after window.top, none of the suggestions are the framename I want to referre to. I can only se the framename if I write the javacode in the frames HTML-code, but I never get the suggestion for the webformname, Webform2.
I'm certainly doing something wrong, but I cant figure out what...

Best regards,
Peter

Don't trust intellisense for javascript. Just write it and try it out. The browser will tell you if the javascript is bad.

You were right about the Intellisense...
But the call to the Enabled-property doesn't work. I get no error and it changes nothing. Take a look at the piece of code beneath.

function btnClick() {
   try
   {
      window.top.top1.Form2.btn1.enabled=false; //Doesn't change anything and doesn't generate an error//
      window.top.top1.Form2.btn2.style.visibility="hidde n"; //This works just fine...//
   }
   catch(e)
   {
      alert(e.message);
   }
}

Whenever I have problems with javascript I use lots of "alert()"s. Try alerting "window.top.top1.Form2.btn1" and see if you get "[object]" as a result. Then you'll know whether or not that is resolving to the button object or not.
