List box help
I have an accordion where I am creating each pane dynamically through code. I am then dynamically creating and adding a list box and list items to each of the panes. What I can’t figure out, is how to capture the selected value and text of any given list box. I also need to be able that if the user selects a item from the list box in any of the panes that all other selected list box items of the other panes are cleared.
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the help!
Public Sub BuildAccordion()
Dim dt As DataTable = ListData1.DefaultView.ToTable("MyPanes", True, New [String]() {"Screen_no", "Screen_desc"})
For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows
Dim myStrExpr As String
myStrExpr = "screen_no = " & row("Screen_no").ToString
Dim lbScreen As New ListBox
For Each row1 As DataRow In ListData1.Select(myStrExpr)
lbScreen.Items.Add(New ListItem(row1("Floor/Location/Position").ToString, "Seat_no"))
Next
CreateAccPane(row("Screen_desc").ToString, row("Screen_desc").ToString, lbScreen)
Next
End Sub
Public Sub CreateAccPane(ByVal PaneID As String, ByVal PaneHeader As String, ByVal PaneContent As ListBox)
Dim panel1 As AccordionPane = New AccordionPane
panel1.ID = PaneID
panel1.HeaderContainer.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(PaneHeader))
panel1.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(PaneContent)
AccPositions.Panes.Add(panel1)
End Sub

I understand where you are coming from and perfer not to do it. As the page stands now, I am using only one list box but it contains a couple hundred items. I figured that I could break that list box into a few list boxes by a common grouping of the items. The problem is that the common grouping changes so in one run, I could have 4 groups and in the next I could have 5 groups. Open to suggestions for another path.
Thanks,

Didn't think of that, that will be the route I will go.

I would try to avoid using dynamic controls if I were you. They can quickly turn into a headache.
