  Default Button in Wizard with Ajax

  Feb 17, 2012 11:07 AM|LINK

  In a Wizard you can set the DefaultButton property like so:

  private void SetDefaultButton(int StepIndex)
          {
              if (StepIndex == 0) //1st Step
                  Page.Form.DefaultButton = Wizard1.FindControl("StartNavigationTemplateContainerID$StartNextButton").UniqueID;
              else if (StepIndex == Wizard1.WizardSteps.Count - 1) //Last step
                  Page.Form.DefaultButton = Wizard1.FindControl("FinishNavigationTemplateContainerID$FinishButton").UniqueID;
              else //middle step
                  Page.Form.DefaultButton = Wizard1.FindControl("StepNavigationTemplateContainerID$StepNextButton").UniqueID;
          }
  
          protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
          {
              base.OnLoad(e);
  
              //Start off with correct default button
              if (!Page.IsPostBack)
                  SetDefaultButton(0);
          }
  
          protected void Wizard1_NextButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
          {
              SetDefaultButton(e.CurrentStepIndex + 1);
          }
  
          protected void Wizard1_PreviousButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
          {
              SetDefaultButton(e.CurrentStepIndex - 1);
          }

  That works fine: if the user hits enter on a control within a wizard it goes to the next page.

  However surround the Wizard with an UpdatePanel and it only works once on the first page of the wizard. After that it does the somewhat annoying thing of firing the first button on the page's click. In my case this is a home linkbutton so the user gets booted out of the wizard and sent back to the home page!

  I am not the first person to come up against this. I've tried the work arounds suggested here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1200989/setting-default-button-in-ajaxified-wizard-control without any joy.

  Anyone help? This one is wasting much of my life!
