Page Panels

[Morris Neuman]

Hi,
I have a page that has several panels. The user can click on buttons
provided in each step, and depending on the button click, one of the panels
would be set to visible and the others set to visible = false.

One of the panels (Panel5) has textboxes and dropdownlists . These fields
show the default values which the user can update. Once these fields are
updated, and the user clicks the button for the next step, the Panel5 is set
to visible=false, and the next panel (Panel6) is displayed. In one of the
next steps (part of Panel7), the fields in Panel5 are required to be used.
Since the fields required in Panel 7 are in Panel5 which is set to invisible,
I cannot access them in Panel7 even with a findcontrol command.

How can I refence the values of the fields set in Panel 5 in a process click
initiated in Panel7? I did a test with 1 field setting a input type hidden
field to the clientid of the required field and it works. Unfortunately I
need to reference many fields. Do I have to create a input type hidden for
each field and assign them the clientid of each of the required fields or is
there a better/easier way?


Your help and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi Morris,

From your description I think you can use Wizard control to do this task.
It's easier to use than implementing your own logic with several Panels.

Could you try it first to see if it's what you need?
