Accessing controls defined inside DataRepeater

xandercoded

I have a series of controls 4 controls. 3 of which I need to disable onPageLoad not on PostBack.

Basically I need to cast the "object sender" onPageLoad and drill down to the the controls and set the

controlId.Visible = False;

I have tried many alternatives and I can't seem to figure out a way to disable them. I would use Javascript. Though that would introduce other facets that I don't want to deal with at the moment, as time is of the essence...

I want to do something similar to this, I do this on a btnAddToCart_Click Event

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

   protected void AddToCart_Click(object sender, CommandEventArgs e) {
 
        //some other code...
 
        LinkButton ctrl = (LinkButton)sender;

        RepeaterItem rpItem = ctrl.NamingContainer as RepeaterItem;

        if (rpItem != null) {

            LinkButton btn = (LinkButton)rpItem.FindControl("btnRemoveFromCart");

            btn.Visible = true;

            btn = (LinkButton)rpItem.FindControl("btnAddToCart");

            btn.Visible = false;

            Image img = (Image)rpItem.FindControl("imgAdded");

            img.Visible = true;

        }

I would appreciate if someone would advise me on how to cast the sender into an object that I can work with and that has the references to the controls on the page that need to be altered (changing the img.Visibility = false)

You accidentally posted in the classic ASP forum, and I am pretty certain you meant to post in the ASP.NET forum. I'll move you over, hopefully you will get some answers there.

this is the solution I came up with...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {

        string galleryID = Session["selectedGalleryID"].ToString();
 
        if (!IsPostBack) {

            h1GalleryTitle.InnerText = Session["selectedGalleryName"].ToString();
 
            #region bind and set default cart button state

            getItems();
 
            LinkButton btn;

            Image img;

            RepeaterItem item;
 
            ControlCollection ctrls = repeaterGallery.Controls;

            foreach (Control i in ctrls) {

                item = i as RepeaterItem;

                btn = item.FindControl("btnRemoveFromCart") as LinkButton;

                btn.Visible = false;

                item = i as RepeaterItem;

                btn = item.FindControl("btnAddToCart") as LinkButton;

                btn.Visible = true;

                item = i as RepeaterItem;

                img = item.FindControl("imgAdded") as Image;

                img.Visible = false;

            }

            #endregion

        }

    }
