Web Forms :: Saving Dynamically Created Tabs On PostBack?
Nov 8, 2010
I know this has been asked before, but I feel like I'm losing my way trying to follow the other examples out there. Does anyone see a straightforward solution to my particular problem?
Goal:
Two column Master Page
Left column contains a list of [stuff] (I'm trying a Repeater with LinkButtons)
Right column contains a TabContainer which will add dynamically created tabs when buttons on the left are clicked.
I had initially been creating tabs in the LB's OnCommand event, but of course this means that any tab generated by one click is lost if the user clicks another LinkButton.
So I moved the code to create a new tab to the OnInit section of the page and attempted to loop through the RepeaterItems comparing the UniqueId of each LinkButton until I found the one that was clicked using Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"].
When I tried to loop through the RepeaterItems, however, the count was always 0, and the Repeater would not populate.
So now I am rebinding the Repeater in the Init section on every post-back - this allows me to find the LinkButton that was clicked. I then add the new Tab based on the LB that was clicked like this:
[Code]....
This properly adds new Tabs to the TabContainer using this code:
[Code]....
but I still have the issue where I can only ever have one dynamically created tab in the TabContainer at a time. All of the code above is being executed in OnInit, which I thought would save the tabs during post-backs, but instead this is behaving as tho I was adding the tabs in the OnCommand event of the Link Button...
In my code I create a table dynamically and I try to restore the table after a postback. But although I recreate the table during the Page_Load event with the same id's before,the table doesn't appear with the same state and values as before.
I think it will be a typically beginner error, but I wasn't be able to locate the error whereas reading different posts and tutorials related to this topic.
I have a page with 4 fixed Tabs. Tabs 1 and 2 are always in position 1 and 2. However, the users are allowed to create their own tabs and add their own html content. I do this by creating a new tab in codebehind and inserting it into the tabcontainer AFTER the frist 2 and before the last 2 tabs. There could be several of these. EX: "F1 | F2 | U1 | U2 | U3 | F3 | F4" where F is a fixed tab and U is a custom tab.
As long as ALL tabs are visible then everything works fine after postbacks.
Based on user settings I sometimes hide fixed tab 1. Everything loads fine the first time. However, on postback The content on fixed tab 4 (always the last tab) is displayed on the bottom of EVERY tab (fixed or custom). It is still displayed in fixed tab 4.
A little background on the code:
Since the tabs are added dynamically they do not exist on postback and must be re-generated every time. This is done in Page_LoadComplete. I have tried it on PageLoad and it behaves the same way.
If I do not re-generate the pages on post back then the problem goes away - as do the custom tabs.
The only thing I could find was from last year, and was supposedly fixed (http://www.codeplex.com/AjaxControlToolkit/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=16321
I have a couple of RadioButtons that are created dynamically. But after postback they don't retain their checked property. I also have some CheckBoxes and they work just fine using the same mechanism (code below). I have narrowed down the problem to the "GroupName" property. If I remove it, it works just fine. But I need the RadioButtons to be mutually exclusive.
I created a templatefield programmatically and it works fine but whenever I clicked the button inside the gridview and do the postback my templatefield are gone.
I need to access the controls dynamically created template fields at run time in datagrid in post back event. Is there any way to retrieve the values in post back event? Or else give the ideas to acheive my requirement. I need to create no of rows and columns as text box as per user input. After fill the values to text box , i need to access the values in submit button.
I have a grid view that is dynamically created.In which every cell in the girdview has a 2 textbox (cTxtboxQty,ctxtWorkOrder) and 2 label.
When user click on the cell, a pop up come out and user are able to change the text inside the cell and click save.After that the pop up close and changed data immediately reflected on the screen.
My problem is:
After my data are changed and updated to database on the pop up page and having it post back to the parent page , my dynamically created textbox in gridview retain old value even new value has been assigned to it.
This sound very weird but i have no idea how to solve this.
My client side code is as below :
[Code]....
[Code]....
[Code]....
[Code]....
I have tested many times and find out that it might be the page hold the old value in memory, so that even we have updated the textbox value, after postback, it still keep and show the old value?
I know this question has been asked thousands of times, and I've struggled with it before, but for some reason, I can't accomplish what I want to accomplish... I have a dynamically added LinkButton that when clicked will dynamically add a control (in this example, a textbox) to the same panel. The intent is to continuously add on as many controls as times the LinkButton was clicked (i.e. I click it once, one box, then another click will give me 2 boxes, another click adds a 3rd). In the code below, I use the current date and time serialized to create a unique ID for each textbox control.
When I execute the code, clicking "Add Filter" will generate a new textbox, but once clicked again will create a new one, and dispose of the one before it. Instead, I want to persist the previous textbox as well as any data submitted within it.In the aspx:
I'm passing a List to an MVC view and generating checkboxes for each object in the list (The checkboxes are named t.Name).I'd like to be able to tell which checkboxes were checked once the form is posted. However, I'd like to avoid using the FormCollection object.
I have a script which creates a dynamic textbox (and more) in an AJAX async post back. But when I try to acess the textbox I am told "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I have been strugleing with this for a long time. This is written in C# .Net 4. The line causing the problem is the very last one where I have tbGameName.Text.Trim()
I dynamically create gridview, and in this grid I have template field also
field.HeaderTemplate = New GridViewTemplate(ListItemType.Header, col.ColumnName) field.ItemTemplate = New GridViewTemplate(ListItemType.Item, col.ColumnName) grdEmpty.Columns.Add(bfield)
but when enter some value in text box in this template field i lose value on postback. And also on postback I lose all template field and i must re-create this grid.
My goal is: I have button and i want to add new row in this grid, but i want to have old value also.
i have created Array of Linkbutton and when user click on link button it will create an array of Radio Buttons but it requires Postback all time so page load takes more time...
So I have two UpdatePanels. I am dynamically creating server-side buttons in UpdatePanel2. When the buttons come out, they are not hooked to the asynchronoustriggers of updatePanel1.
So how can I dynamically add these triggers of these newly dynamically created buttons so that clicking these buttons will only cause a partial postback to UpdatePanel1 ? Right now, when I click these buttons, it causes a partial-postback refresh to UpdatePanel2 (the panel itself that which the controls reside in)
I have a small form with some static elements that I am able to access with javascript the bring up a popup. 4 textboxes are generated and attached to a updatepanel. I've been trying various methods of validating the contols without generating postback.
I found anytime i registered a javascript to the scriptmanager the page must refresh.
I first create a Dynamic table with textboxes and other controls in the cells. A user then enter data into the controls and I try to save the entered data to an access database. but when A save button is pushed the controls are not found.
I have a basic one cell asp:table on the page called "Table1" and then I append this table by using the Controls.Add(TableBuilder()) function in the Page_Init().
How the code basically works:
Public Function TableBuilder() As Table dim r = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow() Dim c = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell() a = New TextBox a.ID = "Sunday" c.Controls.Add(a) r.Cells.Add(c) Table1.Rows.Add(r) TableBuilder = Table1
The table shows up fine but after I press the save button I look for the created control to get the value the user entered it says the control is not there.
SaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim txtSunday As TextBox = Master.FindControl("MainContent").FindControl(("Sunday")) UserEnteredData = txtSunday.text
But if I call TableBuilder() at the start of the function the control is found but the value the user entered is gone.
SaveButton_Click() TableBuilder() Dim txtSunday As TextBox = Master.FindControl("MainContent").FindControl(("Sunday")) UserEnteredData = txtSunday.text
I'm creating an quiz application which queries the database and extracts the questions and choices. I use dynamically created controls such as a checkbox list and fill the values dynamically. How do I do this? Right now I have these functions:
array_random_init(); this creates a 10 element integer array from 1-20 - extract_question(i): this extracts a question indexed at i in DB, I created the controls and set the appropriate text in this function. - validate_question(i); this is called by button_click and validates the question i according to DB.
I understand I have to recreate the controls in Page_init on postback, but what should it look like? Do I need to add "if IsPostBack" in page_init, or do I create the controls in page_init() and reset their properties in page_load when I use extract_question(i)? Also, I cannot seem to clear the selected boxes on postback, I added page directive "enableviewstate=false" but it doesn't work.
I have a website that sales associates access to view account information with clients. S.A's can only view information for accounts that they are tied to. Some clients have more than one account, S.A's can be tied to more than one account, but not all accounts of one client need to be tied to one S.A.
On the account info pages, I have account numbers (dynamically displayed labels) displayed of other accounts that the account client is associated with, which the S.A's can see. I'm modding this so that if the S.A has viewing permissions of any of the other accounts on that list of accounts, that instead of a label being displayed, a button directing them to that account page will display instead. In order for this to work, I have to attach a security function to the button, otherwise the page will blow out on the S.A's.
So I'm running a piece that is displaying a button instead of a label, which is working fine. My problem is when I try to attach the security event to the dynamically displayed buttons. It seems that the page just posts back and doesn't execute my code at all.
On my Page_Load, I'm running this after the buttons and labels are displayed:
For x = 0 to tblAccountList.Rows.Count - 1 'use a try to target the button, use catch to handle if it's instead a label, only one cell per row. Try Dim accountLink as Button = tblAccountList.Rows(x).Controls(0) Addhandler accountLink.Click, AddressOf Me.PermissionViewCheck Catch ex as InvalidCastException Continue For End Try Next
I don't have any code checking for postbacks or anything like that, but the "PermissionViewCheck" event never fires and just reposts the page.
I'm trying to create new tabs within page. When I click a link in my navmenu, it should open the Redirected page in a new tab within the page as new tab (not the browser tab). It is something like the visual studio, where we get the page opened inside a new tab when you click an item in the Solution explorer. Would any body let me know how to implement this functionality. (generate tab with close functinality). I m not talking about TabStrip.
I am working on a pretty heavy page in an application and the scenario is:
There is a Tab control in the page, having four tabs. These tabs individually consist of different user controls and other asp controls. Most of these usercontrols in turn consist of other user controls. Every user control contains huge javaScript functions which validate them, populate controls and call web services.
What I am trying to achieve is to load only the Tab and its user controls on the page load and when the user clicks on a specific tab, load its contents (User controls) dynamically. Once that is done, I am setting the tab's postback to false to prevent loading it again once loaded.
I tried to achieve this by making the user controls in the other tabs - visible="false" in the markup and loading them from server side on some specific event. But that causes the javaScript functions in those user controls to give errors ('Object expected') when I go to that tab.
If I set the user controls in the other tabs to visible true, then no matter what; the page life cycle goes to each registered control and loads every subsequent control in that web user control which makes the main page slow (on loading and every postback).
The position of the Tab and the inner user controls is fixed. Although I am taking care that no data is populated unnecessarily on the page and user controls on hidden tabs, I dont want the tabs to get loaded altogether unless requested. If I load them on runtime, their corresponding javaScripts start giving errors.. note that I am not generating the controls on runtime, they exist in the page design. I just dont want to load them dynamically
i need to save a timestamp byte[] array between page post backs in asp.net webforms and thought having a global variable in a class would work, but it does not?
I Have the following code which fires OnCreatedUser and doesn't throw any errors. Profile.Title is getting set to the correct value when inspected after the assignment.
public void CreateUserForm_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e) { var ddlTitle = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizardStep1.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("Title");
I am using Ajaxtoolkit in my application. I am declaring the tabcontainer and tab panels on the serverside. I just have my Updatepanel on the Client-Side. I was wondering how to assign css to the tabs like onhover or click would change its background color and highlight the tab up.
Secondly, since I am dynamically creating these tabs, how would I put a close for each of the tabs?
