[RESOLVED] Enable = False not working

[Bill Crawley]

Hi all,

I have an asp 2.0 page with a Button placed on the page.

Within the button_CLick event within the aspx.vb page the first thing I do is

mybutton.enabled = false

I then call my routine then I enable mybutton.

The routine is being entered, but mybutton is not disabling. on the aspx page, the button has been placed in a form element with method="post"

don't you have to do a postback for the button to be disabled? If the method takes a while then maybe put it into a different thread. You should notice the disabling then.

i've placed in the page load event on the server side:

btnCapture.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.disabled=true;")

and behind the page itself I have:

<asp:Button ID="btnCapture" runat="server" Text="Generate Details" PostBackUrl="~/Default.aspx" />
Now when I press the button, my button disables, however it now does not run the process placed behind the btnCapture_Click event

in the page load event I now have:

Dim cs As ClientScriptManager = Page.ClientScript
Dim sJavaScript As String = ""
sJavaScript = "if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') { "
sJavaScript += "if (Page_ClientValidate() == false) { return false; }} "
sJavaScript += "this.value = 'Please wait...';"
sJavaScript += "this.disabled = true;"
sJavaScript += cs.GetPostBackEventReference(btnCapture, "")
sJavaScript += ";"
btnCapture.Attributes.Add("onClick", sJavaScript)

and it works
