ClientID using ProxyManager and CustomDirectEvents

[ctallos]

I am adding a Label control dynamically in codebehind and trying to add a click event to it. When I try #1 it works but #2 has no effect. Without having to construct the ClientID manually please give me a better way to write this code.

#1) DocProxyManager.CustomDirectEvents.Add(New Ext.Net.DirectEvent("centerPlaceHolder_TemplateAut horing_" + lblSectionHeading.ClientID, HtmlEvent.Click, New Ext.Net.ComponentDirectEvent.DirectEventHandler(Ad dressOf UpdateFields)))

#2) DocProxyManager.CustomDirectEvents.Add(New Ext.Net.DirectEvent(lblSectionHeading.ClientID, HtmlEvent.Click, New Ext.Net.ComponentDirectEvent.DirectEventHandler(Ad dressOf UpdateFields)))

You have to add label to Controls/Items collection first before using ClientID

I am adding the label to a panel's item collection but it still does not work. Do I have the Add syntax correct for CustomDirectEvents?

You can close this thread I see now when ClientID's are created
