How do you capture User control events in the parent page

[jw56578]

Hi,
How would the following be accomplished. I have a parent aspx page,
that dynamically loads 3 user controls (through LoadControl) depending
on a certain criteria. I want the click of a button on one user
control to make another user control invisible. How can the parent
aspx page capture that click event so that it can know to do
something. thanks

The proper way to do is is to have the usercontrol raise an event the page
can hook into. Something like this would go into your usercontrol:

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button hide;
public event EventHandler onHideClick;

private void hide_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
if (this.onHideClick != null){
this.onHideClick(this, e);
}
}
and then your page could hook into the onHideClick event:
uc1.onHideClick +=new EventHandler(uc1_onHideClick);

private void uc1_onHideClick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
//do stuff
}

This doesn't appear to work. Whenever the button of the user control
is clicked, this event is not recognized and the code is not executed
in the click method, so the onHideClick event is not raised, and any
other code in the button Click method is not called.
