In my classic asp app, I have a markup page with a bunch of checkboxes. The checkbox control ID is bscv.
Once a user checks a box and clicks submit, the value is processed on the next page called next.asp.
Based on the value of the checked box, I display the correct dropdown.
I use the following code on next.asp to display the correct dropdown.
If bsvc = "master" Then
' only master was checked
' "If the user checks only master checkbox, ...txtmaster with 2 options... is displayed."
%>
<select id="txtmaster" name="txtmaster">
<option value="">-Select a service-</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
<%
Elseif InStr(bsvc, "master") > 0 Then
' Master was checked, but something else was also checked
' display txtmaster with all 7 options dropdowon 1 and 2
%>
<select id="txtmaster" name="txtmaster">
<option value="">-Select a service-</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
</select>
<%
Elseif Len(bsvc) > 0 Then
' something was checked, but not master
' " display only dropdown with 3 to 7 ."
%>
<select id="txtmaster" name="txtmaster">
<option value="">-Select a service-</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="4">5</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
</select>
<%
Else
Response.Write "Error: You did not check any business serviced"
End If
%>
This works great.
Now, on asp.net, I am using multiview and I am trying to accomplish the same.
On view1, I have the checkboxes. When I click next, I will like to display the correct dropdownlist based on the value of checked box.
How can I accomplish something similar as the code above?
Thanking you in advance.

Answer 1

One approach would be very similar to what you have...
Use an <asp:checkboxlist> in your markup.
Then for your submit button's on-click event, you can set your dropdown lists' 'visible' property to true or false, based on the checked values you find in your checkboxlist.
Alternatively, you could declare some listitem objects, have just one dropdownlist, and add/remove listitem based on the checked values from your checkboxlist.
For each myItem as listitem in myCheckboxlist
if ctype(myItem, checkox).checked then...
something along that line of thought anyway

Answer 2

I've never used Multiview, so forgive me if I'm totally off base. But it looks like the controls on view 1 should be available directly. Since you're using a Multiview you're never actually leaving the page, just posting back and changing the active view. So every control on view 1 (or any other view) is still accessible.
If you can't refer to the checkboxes directly, say if the checkboxes are dynamic (like databound or something), you should be able to use View1.FindControl or something similar.
Am I missing something?
'View1 contains three CheckBoxes and ButtonNext.
'View2 contains three DropDownLists and ButtonBack.
Protected Sub ButtonNext_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ButtonNext.Click
SetListVisibility()
MultiView1.SetActiveView(View2)
End Sub
Protected Sub ButtonBack_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ButtonBack.Click
MultiView1.SetActiveView(View1)
End Sub
Private Sub SetListVisibility()
If CheckBox1.Checked Then
If CheckBox2.Checked Or CheckBox3.Checked Then
DropDownList1.Visible = False
DropDownList2.Visible = False
DropDownList3.Visible = True
Else
DropDownList1.Visible = True
DropDownList2.Visible = False
DropDownList3.Visible = False
End If
Else
DropDownList1.Visible = False
DropDownList2.Visible = True
DropDownList3.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
