ASP.NET 2.O confirmbuttonextender

Asked by: CipherIS

I am developing a web application and using the confirmbuttonextender.  When I click on the add button the confirmbuttonextender displays.  The problem is that when I click on the confirmbuttonextender - nothing happens (sometimes - not consistent).

Any ideas on how to get the confirmbuttonextender to fire everytime you click on OK?

Thx.

'ASP.NET Page Code
<cc1:confirmbuttonextender id="cmdAddActivityExtend" runat="server"  
      TargetControlID="cmdAdd" ConfirmText="This will add a new Activity, Click OK to
      Continue!"></cc1:confirmbuttonextender> 
 
'Code Behind
Protected Sub cmdAddOnClick_Extend(ByVal sender As Object, 
           ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles 
                      cmdAddActivityExtend.Load, 
                      cmdAddTaskExtend.Load, 
                      cmdAddToDoExtend.Load
        Call SetConfirmText()
End Sub

Shouldn't you add something like okcontrolid="btnOkay" as an attribute of confirmbuttonextender so that you could have the even handler named btnOkay_Click...
The even handler should be declared as the value of the attribute okcontrolid and its name should finish by "click" I think.

'ASP.NET Page Code
<cc1:confirmbuttonextender id="cmdAddActivityExtend" runat="server"  
      TargetControlID="cmdAdd" okcontrolid="btnOkay" ConfirmText="This will add a new Activity, Click OK to continue!"></cc1:confirmbuttonextender> 
 
'Code Behind
Protected Sub btnOkay_Click(ByVal sender As Object, 
           ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles 
                      cmdAddActivityExtend.Load, 
                      cmdAddTaskExtend.Load, 
                      cmdAddToDoExtend.Load
        Call SetConfirmText()
End Sub

There is no okcontrolid only targetcontrolid.

Probably because you don't use the one provided by the Ajax TollKit or the Atlas Toolkit or... anyway you certainly have an attribute which let you specify the even handler to be executed when clicking on the button (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/ajax/ASPModalInAction.aspx)...

Or you didn't specified the even handler for the button with the ID cmdAddActivityExtend, like in this example (OnClick="btnGO_Click"): and then the evemn handler will be btnGO_Click().

<asp:Button ID="btnGO" runat="server" Text="GO" OnClick="btnGO_Click" />
<br />
<cc1:ConfirmButtonExtender ID="confBtnExtender" runat="server" 
OnClientCancel="cancelClick" TargetControlID="btnGO" ConfirmOnFormSubmit="True" />

I have my code like that already.  I didn't provide the code to the button but it is as you suggest.

coolleomod,
You propose to the author to ask the question to some more "experienced experts" into another area... And when we follow the link here (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Q_24691091.html), what a surprise, the description of the problem has totally changed : the user has to click twice for the even handler to be executed. It seems that for a first try, CipherIS should to investigate around a focus issue : first click gives actually the focus to the button and the second one do the job.
So now coolleomod, I'm several time MS certified in this area but I don't come very often to this website and probably I should just go away. Nevertheless, I would like to know how "expert" should we be to have the privilege to get a correct description of the problem ?

For Clarification:

I am developing a web application and using the confirmbuttonextender.  When I click on the add button the confirmbuttonextender displays.  The problem is that when I click on the confirmbuttonextender - nothing happens.  I have to click on the button twice (which fires the confirmbuttonextender) in order for the confirmbuttonextender to work.

So in general:

1)  Click on button
2)  ConfirmButtonExtender  displays - click on OK - Nothing Happens.
3)  Click on button 2nd time
4)  ConfirmButtonExtender  displays - click on OK - code works fine.

Any ideas?

I resolved the problem.  It was on the aspx page.

As I said earlier : "It seems that for a first try, CipherIS should to investigate around a focus issue : first click gives actually the focus to the button and the second one do the job"
When you say "It was on the aspx page" => this is not an explanation of the problem. You had a focus issue and you should confirm this !

Is it FINALLY possible to know what's going on ?!? Was it a focus issue ?
Do you really think that tagging your own comment as the solution is helpfull for anyone when it says "I resolved the problem.  It was on the aspx page" ?!?!
