How to cange the visibel view insife a multiview controll by code

[JRVoyager]

This might a real newbee question, but now i'm stuck.

I have a page with a multiview control on, inside this have i 2 view controlls.

how do I change between these two without using a button ?
What i have descovered is that when clicking a button so does a Postback event rise and the page is refreshed, but with my code does the postback not occure.

I have tried both the MultiView.SetActiveView and MultiView.ActiveViewIndex methods but without luck.

How can i either raise a postback event, or refresh the page so the change is visible ?

The SetActiveView method should work to change the view but you would have to use a Button (or another control that causes a postback) - I'm not sure why you want to do this without using a Button?

Have a look at the examples in the help file that show you how to do it:

Hi c8msm

It me again, the guy with the problem with the Visitors screen

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1278605&page=1

I have read this help section, from this i did draw the clue that the postback is the missing part.
If you recall the above thread do you understand why i want to do it without buttonclicks to fire the event.

I did have to give up the thought about the beautiful screenssaver so now are im aiming for a slideshow instead.
I have created a page with two views, one shall contain the slideshow (using a AdRotator to randomize the pictures) and the other view the actual "Welcome page".
I have the put an automatically refresh to the page with the MultiView to have it all rooling.

Regards
Gerth

OK, if you want to do it without a user having to click anything, then you will have to do it on the Page Load event. I guess it would go something like:

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Select Case blnVistorsDue
            Case True
                MultiView1.SetActiveView(VisitorView)
            Case False
                MultiView1.SetActiveView(DefaultView)
        End Select
    End Sub

Thanks for the hint, i think i got a clue about the problem i face.
I do the test, as you suggest , already but i have it in the Page_Unload event as thats the point where i today test if the recordset have recieved any "visitors".
But when this event fires is the page already formated i think so it might be to late for the change to occure.

That's not the event you should be using to test whether vistors exist. Try either using the Page's Load or Init event instead.
