Composite Custom Controls - The Event Horizon

[Mr Newbie]

Hi,

Im doing something really stupid here, But I cant see the wood for the
trees. This is some of the code for my custom composite control. It renders
fine and the buttons do cause a Post to occur. But the Click Handlers are
not are never receiving a click event. I note that the name of the control
is _ctl0 or 1 etc.

<span id="MyDamnButton1" style="width:192px;Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 16px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 24px"><input type="submit" name="_ctl0"
value="Submit Me" /><input type="submit" name="_ctl1" value="Submit Me 2"
/></span>

What could I have done wrong ?

------------------------

Protected btnSubmit As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Protected btnSubmit2 As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button

Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()
btnSubmit.Text = "Submit Me"
btnSubmit2.Text = "Submit Me 2"
Controls.Add(btnSubmit)
Controls.Add(btnSubmit2)

AddHandler btnSubmit.Click, AddressOf Me.Click1Handler
AddHandler btnSubmit2.Click, AddressOf Me.Click1Handler2
End Sub


Private Sub Click1Handler(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Dim a As Int16 = 0

End Sub

Private Sub Click1Handler2(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Dim a As Int16 = 0
End Sub

Hi Mr. N,

As I answered this in either the Framework newsgroup, or the Visual
Studio.Net newsgroup (can't remember which at the moment) fully, I'll trust
you to look there for the details. But because I'm a good sport, I'll give
you the Reader's Digest Condensed version here (again, and shame on you!):

Add an OnLoad override to the Control, and call EnsureChildControls() in
that.
