Panel Syntax

T

TC

In the below example of code,

What is the syntax to access the contents of TextBox1?

Also, what is the syntax to iterate all occurrences of the TextBoxes?

Thanks,

TC

void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) {

// Show or hide the Panel contents.

if (Check1.Checked) {

Panel1.Visible=true;

// Generate the Label controls.

int numlabels = Int32.Parse(DropDown1.SelectedItem.Value);

for (int i=1; i<=numlabels; i++) {
Label l = new Label();
l.Text = "Label" + (i).ToString();
l.ID = "Label" + (i).ToString();
Panel1.Controls.Add(l);
Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<br>"));
}

// Generate the Textbox controls.

int numtexts = Int32.Parse(DropDown2.SelectedItem.Value);

for (int i=1; i<=numtexts; i++) {
TextBox t = new TextBox();
t.Text = "TextBox" + (i).ToString();
t.ID = "TextBox" + (i).ToString();
Panel1.Controls.Add(t);
Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<br>"));

<h3>Panel Example</h3>

<form runat=server>

<asp:panel id="Panel1" runat="server"
BackColor="gainsboro"
Height="200px"
Width="300px">

Panel1: Here is some static content...
<p>

</asp:panel>

<p>

Generate Labels:
<asp:DropDownList id=DropDown1 runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="0">0</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="4">4</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

<br>

Generate TextBoxes:
<asp:DropDownList id=DropDown2 runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="0">0</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="4">4</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

<p>
<asp:CheckBox id="Check1" Text="Hide Panel" runat="server"/>

<p>
<asp:Button Text="Refresh Panel" runat="server"/>


</form>

To iterate all occurrences of the TextBoxes:

foreach(Control cntrl in Panel1.Controls)
{
if (cntrl is TextBox)
{
TextBox myTextBox = (TextBox)cntrl;
//process based on the textbox
}
}

Phillip,

Thanks you.

One question, If I created the panel on load pre-postback, and inputed
content into the panel. Would I use the same syntax to access the contents
after postback?

I get the following message when I play with the Immediate Window (after
postback):
"function 'Panel1.FindControl' evaluated and returned null".

Thanks again.

I found my answer. Because of managed code I should not be playing in the
postback world. Instead I should place my code into an event (like a button
click).


Thanks
