Get from user control

[Mark Tait]

Hi - I have a problem in that my main page, which has a user control,
mtnav.ascx, only picks up on the change made in my user control, a step
behind me actucally making it. I need ti pick up on the changes on the
main page, as changes to the usercontrol should affect which panels I
show/hide on my main page.

My user control (mtnav.ascx) is a table of linkbuttons, which follow
this format:

...onclick="lblSearch_click"... - each of the buttons calls a sub in the
user control:

sub lblSearch_click(sender as object, e as eventargs)
setTab="search"
end sub

setTab is defined as:


public Property setTab as String

Get

return lslsetTab.text

End Get



Set

lblsetTab.text=value

Select case value

case "list"

tdlist.cssclass="mttabon"

tdsearch.cssclass="mttaboff"

case "search"

tdlist.cssclass="mttaboff"

tdsearch.cssclass="mttabon"

end select

End Set



End Property




In my main page, I have:



Sub Page_Load(sender as object, e as eventargs)

If IsPostBack then

response.write(usercontrol1.settab)

End If

end sub




If I click the Search tab, the Search tab of my user control will
change, but not until I select another tab, will the response.write show
Search - it's always a step behind, as if my main Page_Load happens
before the property is set.

Is there anyway of calling Page_Load again, or am I missing something
which would catch the change in the tab the first time around?
