Disable control without postback

Is there any way to change the enabled property of a dropdownlist without a
postback, depending on the selection in another dropdownlist?

Select Case ddlReport.Selec tedValue

Case "Profit"

ddlFormat.Enabl ed = True

Case "Trial Balance"

ddlFormat.Enabl ed = False

End Select

You can turn off the ViewState for selected controls or all controls using
the Control.EnableV iewState which DropDownList inherits.

The Page directive also has EnableViewState attribute.


But the user should beware that events will go wonky if you do either
of these. If you really want a dropDownList that reacts reasonably to
client-side disabling then one's best bet is to derive a class from
DropDownList and do the work yourself. You could probably achieve this
with a few very minor overrides, but I haven't looked at it in detail.

Of course, this is all probably way beyond what the original poster was
asking. On the other hand, all this is likely to bite him pretty soon.

I have code that will set a drop-down list value to "xyz" and the .Enabled property to False. However, when I do that I can no longer retrieve the value "xyz" upon postback. It is as if I set the .Visible property to False as well and the control wasn't rendered, but I did not. If you View Source of the rendered HTML, you can see that the control is indeed still intact (everything is the same except the disabled argument is set to...

I'm wondering if there's a way to use javascript to disable a ASP.NET web page before it starts to postback. Specifically, here's what I'm running into. I've got a webform that has an autopostback dropdown box, and a couple of textboxes just below it. When the user selects an option from the dropdown, it triggers a postback event, which in-turn slightly adjusts the remainder of the page. The problem is that if the user is on a slow...

I'm using a LinkButton to call some code, then do a redirect. The code does some queries, sends some emails, and takes a few moments before the redirect is performed. I'd like to disable my LinkButton during this period to prevent multiple submissions. (Obviously) the disabling should be done at the client side to prevent any delay. I've tried adding some javascript to LinkButton.Attributes: LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick",...

Hi, I wonder how to disable the "submit" behavior of a button. What I want is to assign values to dynamically added user controls without page postback. Problem: dynamically created control can not be accessed because the button click trigers page postback(see sample code). When the button is clicked, an error occurs: "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Please help. Thanks.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
