Ajax PopupExtender Problem

[Eduardo Lorenzo]

Hi everyone, it is nice to be back.

 

Again, of course with a question.

 

I am having a problem using AJAX popup extender. I create a panel(to hold all controls), a label(the one to click to popup), another panel(to hold the popup content, a literal(with the popup content), an Ajax popupextender, and assign the values, all on the fly like so:

 

Panel displayPanel1 = new Panel();
                       displayPanel1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
                       displayPanel1.ID = "dispPanel" + myCounter.ToString();
                       displayPanel1.Controls.Add(hc);
                       AjaxControlToolkit.PopupControlExtender myPop = new AjaxControlToolkit.PopupControlExtender();
                       myPop.TargetControlID = desclabel.ID;
                       myPop.PopupControlID = displayPanel1.ID;
                       myPop.ID = "pop" + myCounter.ToString();
                       detailsPanel.Controls.Add(myPop);
                       detailsPanel.Controls.Add(displayPanel1);

 

hc is the literal, there is nothing wrong there. displaypanel is the main panel instantiated also by code.

 

what happens here is when the page renders, displayPanel1 is already visible! And when I click on the label, it "pops" up to its correct place. and when I click anywhere else on the page, it dissapears and then starts to function properly (as a popup should).

 

I tried setting the visibility property of detailsPanel1 to false but it does not work.

 

All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
