Experts: dynamic control events???

Hi all.

In response to user selections, our app adds controls (buttons, image
buttons) dynamically to a page with Controls.Add(my NewButtonContro l).

Now that we gotten on the page we want to make them do something for a
living: how do we dynamically create events that the controls respond to?

TEA for any pointers.

Assaf hi,

You need to attach methods on your page to controls events. if you using
C# :
MyControl.Click += new EventHandler(Fu nctionNameWithD elegartionSign( ;

VB:

AddHandlerMyCon trol.Click , AddressOf FunctionNameWit hDelegartionSig n

BUT! Event handler for dynamic control should be added before the page
finish to build controls. in the page life cycle the Load event is the
one that you can use.

Thanks a bunch Bin Song.

One of the articles you listed revealed the missing part of the puzzle: I
couldn't get the events for the dynamic control (which by the way is a
custom composite control) to fire. What was missing was impmenting the
System.Web.UI.I NamingContainer interface on the control.

Thanks for the pointer, Natty Guru.

I think I accidentally bypassed the problem by implementing the dynamically
added controls as custom composite controls. That way all the functionality
is baked into the composite control's inner controls (e.g., the button
control in the MyCustomComposi teControl control). I had to implement custom
composites for other reason, of course, not just to get around this problem.

Hi Everyone, I am working in C#, windows forms.My question is this. All my button dynamic controls properties are present and accounted for except for the"FlatStyle" properties.

I have been working for quite some time on this issue which in theory should be quite simple. The problem is that the Cancel and Save events are not fired when their respective buttons are clicked. I have read several posts which say to put your column generating section in the Page_Init section and it will solve the problem....however, it hasn't solved mine. Can somebody please take a look at this and provide any insight if possible?

Howdy, I think I have a good question! I'm creating a usercontrol, and within this usercontrol, I'm dynamically creating controls (imagebuttons to be exact), that the user can click on which will cause a postback to occur. My problem is, I can't seem to be able to get the handlers to work within the user control, to determine which control has been clicked, and what to do with it from there.

Hello, I'm trying to handle click events with button controls I've created dynamically. I've found two ways of dealing with them, neither of which I like, so I'm asking if anyone knows a better way. 1), register a handler for the click event, as so Dim btnClick As New Button btnClick.Text = "Delete"

I have created several grids dynamically and have added them to different HTML placeholders on a vb.net web form. The grids and controls within them come up and view beautifully when the web page first starts, but when I click on a button, and the page comes back, my dynamically created grid and controls are not visible. Any thoughts? Please view my sample code below. If Not ispostback then creategrids end if
