Enabling buttons at run time

[tasumisra]

Hey guys, I have 5 buttons in my form. During the page load event only 1 will be enabled, rest all i have made it Enabled = false. I have one more button named as "More", when a user clicks on it, the buttons which are disabled should be enabled one by one. Can someone please give me a solution for this. Thanks, Vikas

Put this in your button handler:

button5.Enabled = button4.Enabled;
button4.Enabled = button3.Enabled;
button3.Enabled = button2.Enabled;
button2.Enabled = button1.Enabled;

Write a method like this:

private void ToggleButtonGroup(Button button)
{
button1.Enabled = (this.button1 == button);
button2.Enabled = (this.button2 == button);
button3.Enabled = (this.button3 == button);
button4.Enabled = (this.button4 == button);
}

Call this method from each appropriate button handler. If you passed this.button4 to the method, button4 would be enabled, and the rest would be disabled.

I would suggest putting the additional buttons in a Panel, then you can toggle just one Enabled property.
