Accessing Wizard Next/Prev buttons

[GaryDean]

I have a Wizard page and need to affect the next and previous buttons from
my code-behind. I've googled around and found two solutions, and neither
appear to work.

I can access the SideBarList steps successfully with the following code...

Control myContainer =
(Control)Wizard 1.FindControl(" SideBarContaine r");
DataList mySideBarList =
(DataList)myCon tainer.FindCont rol("SideBarLis t");
mySideBarList.E nabled = false;

Trying to take this approach with the StepNavigationT emplate does not seem
to work. I first converted the step navigation to a template but I cannot
get findcontrol to find anything in "StepNavigation Container" or
"StepNavigation Template" or anything else I can think of.

I have also tried putting .hidden {display:none} in my .css file and ....

protected void Wizard1_ActiveS tepChanged(obje ct sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Wizard1.Active StepIndex == 3)
{
Wizard1.StepPre viousButtonStyl e.CssClass = "hidden";
Wizard1.StepNex tButtonStyle.Cs sClass = "hidden";
}
}

This has the effect of not working when goint to step 3 as the Prev/finish
still show. However if the prev button is hit, step 2 shows with the next
button not visible.

Is there a solution to this problem? Is there a reliable way to access
these buttons?

Thanks,
Gary

Re: Accessing Wizard Next/Prev buttons

Your code in the Wizard1_load event has the effect of not taking effect
until the user hits the previous button that was supposed to be non-visible.
then when we go back to step 2 the previous button is indeed visible.

This is another attempt in my code (I use the WizardStep activate and
deactivate events as I find them more reliable than the regular wizard
navigate events). This is very interesting....

Here I am disabling the datalist in the SideBarContaine r and it works
immediately and just fine. the very code below it which I got from you also
appears to work when I step through it in debug mode i.e the PreviousButton
is found and it is set to non visible. But on the page when the step 4
shows the previous button is alive and well! Only when I hit that
previousbutton do I go back and, guess what, the previous button no longer
appears on step 2. In other words it happens a step late.

protected void WizardStep4_Act ivate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["curpage"] = "4";
//deactivate navigation capability throughout the wizard - the user
is done.

Control myContainer =
(Control)Wizard 1.FindControl(" SideBarContaine r");
DataList mySideBarList =
(DataList)myCon tainer.FindCont rol("SideBarLis t");
mySideBarList.E nabled = false;

Control ctrl =
Wizard1.FindCon trol("StepNavig ationTemplateCo ntainerID");
Button myPrevButton =
(Button)ctrl.Fi ndControl("Step PreviousButton" );
myPrevButton.Vi sible = false;

Pulling my hair out!

Hi Gary,
>
As for the Wizard control, those different Container (such as Navigation
Panel , SideBar Panel...) , they're separate from each other (under the
Wizard control's Sub control colleciton). Therefore, if you want to lookup
any child control within any of them, you need to get reference to the
certain container first. Generally, a useful means to determine the
control structure/hierarchy is turn on page's output trace (see the below
directive):
>
=============== ======
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeFile="CSWiz ard.aspx.cs"
Inherits="CSWiz ard"
Trace="true" %>
>
=============== ===
>
And based on my test, the "Navigation container"'s control ID is
"StepNavigation TemplateContain erID". You can use it to get the Navigation
container control first, and call FindControl on it to get the
"MovePreviousBu tton" and "MoveNextButton ".
>
here is a simple test page I've used. Also, "ActiveStepChan ged" event is
not the proper event to lookup control collection (because at that time,
the new Step's control collection hasn't been populatd yet). I suggest you
use "Load" event.

Re: Accessing Wizard Next/Prev buttons

Thanks for your reply Gary,

Don't worry, I think there might be some status which hasn't been
maintained correctly here. To better test the behavior, would you send me a
simplified page which use a wizard control to demonstrate what you want to
do? thus, I can test against it on my side. You can reach me at the
following email address:

"stcheng" + @ + "microsoft. com"

Re: Accessing Wizard Next/Prev buttons


Hi Gary,

I have performed some test against the sample page you provided. Here are
some of my test results according to your previous reply in the newsgroup
thread:

1. At the beginning, both next/previous buttons and side bar links can help
navigate between steps
2. After I reach the final step(step4), sidebar is disabled, and I can only
move to previous step via "previous" button.
3. However, when I move to step2, the previous button still exists(per your
description in newsgroup, this button disappear in step2?). And only if I
reach step1 will the "previous" button disappear.

So far, what I'm not clear is why don't you also disable "Previous button"
when reach step4, but only disable the sidebar? Also, if there is any
other problems here, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Re: Accessing Wizard Next/Prev buttons

Hi Gary,

After some further research, I've figured out the problem.

Actually, we've made a mistake when locating the "PreviousButton " on the
last step(the finish step). We originally use the following code:

============
Control ctrl =
Wizard1.FindCon trol("StepNavig ationTemplateCo ntainerID");
Button myPrevButton =
(Button)ctrl.Fi ndControl("Step PreviousButton" );
myPrevButton.Vi sible = false;

============

this is ok for intermediate step, however, for the finish step/end step,
you need to search for the "previousButton " in a different Container called
"FinishNavigati onTemplateConta inerID", also the Button ID is different.
Here is the code I've used to make the "previous button" in last step
disabled. The code contains two part:

1. mark a flag(in session) indicate that we've reach the end

2. in "PreRender" event of the wizard, we check the flag and determine
whether to disable the button


=============== ==========
protected void WizardStep4_Act ivate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
............... .......

Session["finish"] = true;

}

=============== ===========

protected void Wizard1_PreRend er(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Session["finish"] != null)
{
Control ctrl =
Wizard1.FindCon trol("FinishNav igationTemplate ContainerID");
Button myPrevButton =
(Button)ctrl.Fi ndControl("Fini shPreviousButto n");
myPrevButton.En abled = false;
}

}
=============== ==========

Hope this helps. I'll also send you the modified project via email.

Steven Cheng
