  SetActiveView Issue

  Aug 04, 2011 05:50 PM|LINK

  Hello .Net Community, would like to ask if anyone know the reason why mv.SetActiveView(myView1) would NOT display a particular view?  Thanks.

  why mv.SetActiveView(myView1) would NOT display a particular view?

  Are you getting any errors? There could be many reasons.

  You might have kept all the controls of the myView1 in a Panel WITH VISIBLE="FALSE".

  Your might have kept the view controls in an updatepanel with UPDATEMODE="CONDITIONAL" but without any triggers

  Compare your code against the sample code below. It is possible you might have some properties on the View configured improperly:

  <asp:MultiView ID="mv" runat="server">
      <asp:View ID="vw1" runat="server">
      </asp:View>
  
       <asp:View ID="vw2" runat="server">
       </asp:View>
  </asp:MultiView>

  To set the active view, the code should be as follows:

  'Set the "vw1" View to be visible and active:
  Me.mv.SetActiveView(Me.vw1)

  If you continue to have problems, please post your code to help further.

  Thank you, >[Blog]<

  <div></div> <div></div>

  Thanks SanSan for your quick reply...

  1) No errors, I have a BUTTON click that triggers the mv.SetActiveView(view1) BUT doesn't execute it for some reason.

  2) Encasulating Panel VISIBLE is TRUE

  3) UpdateMode=Always

  <div>I'm boggled by this BUG... any other ideas?</div> <div></div> <div></div>

  Thanks Atconway, I have a pretty much the same kind of code.

  MY ASPX page:

  <updatePanel runat="server">

  <asp:Panel runat="server">

  <asp:Button ID="btnDisplayDetails" runat="server" Text="Display Details" OnClick="btnDisplayDetails_Click" />

  <asp:MultiView ID="mv" runat="server">

  <asp:View ID="view1" runat="server">

  </asp:View>

  <asp:View ID="view2" runat="server">

  </asp:View>

  </asp:MultiView>

  </asp:Panel>

  </updatePanel>

  MY CODE BEHIND:

  Protected Sub btnDisplayDetails_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

  Me.mv.SetActiveView(Me.view1)

  End Sub

  I don't see anything wrong with posted code. May be you are overriding this selection in some other code. Here is a working example..

  <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
          <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1"
              runat="server">
              <ContentTemplate>
                  <asp:Button ID="btnDisplayDetails" runat="server" Text="Display Details" OnClick="btnDisplayDetails_Click" />
                  <asp:MultiView ID="mv" runat="server">
                      <asp:View ID="view1" runat="server">
                          <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>
                      </asp:View>
                      <asp:View ID="view2" runat="server">
                          <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" />
                      </asp:View>
                  </asp:MultiView>
              </ContentTemplate>
          </asp:UpdatePanel>

      Protected Sub btnDisplayDetails_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  
          Me.mv.SetActiveView(Me.view2)
  
      End Sub
