page_load is fired AFTER other properties and functions are called on control - WHY?

[Richard Murphy]

Hi all,

I have a little, but rather annoying, problem with a control I attempt to
load into another control. The problem is that the page_load event is
getting fired after all the other properties on the page have been set. It
is a navigation control and when these properties (totalpages and
currentpage) get set it also makes the table visable if appropriate. The
problem is that the page_load sets the page visable to false hence I do not
see the control when page_load is run after the properties are set. I
thought page_load had to be fired in order to be able to access the
functions and properties on it. Even weirder is that I use the control from
another control with exactly the same code the the page_load is fired first
here. Anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Regards

Richard
