Thank you. I really appreciate your help.


Protected Sub Page_Load1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then

tabSearch.Attributes.Add("onclick", ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(tabSearch, "") _
& ";this.value='Processing Please wait...';this.disabled = true;this.style.backgroundColor = 'silver';this.style.foreColor='black'; ")

OperatorSelector()
SelectionCriteria()
SortExpression = "contid"
StartlettingDate()
EndlettingDate()
txtDescription.Focus()
Page.Form.DefaultButton = tabSearch.UniqueID


End If



Protected Sub tabSearch_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tabSearch.Click

PopulateBidTabulationGridView()
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.GetType, _
"reset", "document.getElementById('" & tabSearch.ClientID & "').disabled=false; ", True)
End Sub
