Composite controls! It does work but How ???

[ton]

Hi,
I'm using several composite controls. Allthough my controls are not ready
yet, testing is hopefull. The reason of my question is that somehow I'm
still missing a clue.

- In the CreateChildControls all controls are created
- the html will be generated and posted to the client
- the client see the control on his page
- het than modifies several textfields

suppose that because of a dropdownlist event or a button event (both part of
the composite control) a postbackevent will occur.
From what I know is that the process which follows is:
- the CreateChildControls is called
- the event will be handled

Now my point:
How can it be that the modified textboxes keep there changed values. Which
is what I need, but on the other hand the CreateChildControls has run and
the original values are again replaced.

So my Question is. How does this work!!!
Thanx

Ton
