Mitchel,

I am using the DNN delivered captcha control within an asp registration wizard. I have followed the instructions in your Professional Dotnetnuke Module programming and your blog but I can not get the error message to display. I am sure its something simple but I can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas? Thank you

' Below are some of the event handlers for the Wizard Control

Protected Sub OnFinishButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WizardNavigationEventArgs)
 Page.Validate()
 If Page.IsValid() AndAlso ctlCaptcha.IsValid() Then

 ' Some work is done in here              

 End If

End Sub

Private Sub RegistrationWizard_ActiveStepChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RegistrationWizard.ActiveStepChanged

 If RegistrationWizard.ActiveStepIndex = Registration.Complete Then
                If Not ctlCaptcha.IsValid() Then
                    ' The captcha validation failed. Display the user information step again
                    ctlCaptcha.ErrorMessage = "Try again. Enter the code shown in the box"
                    RegistrationWizard.ActiveStepIndex = Registration.UserInfo
                End If
            End If

End Sub

Mitchel,

I added e.Cancel = True to cancel the event and prevent the ActiveStepChanged event from firing. However I can't get the captcha control to display the error message. I have the error message defined in the ascx file as well. Any ideas?

Thx

Protected Sub OnFinishButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WizardNavigationEventArgs)
 Page.Validate()
 If Page.IsValid() AndAlso ctlCaptcha.IsValid() Then

 ' Some work is done in here              

Else

e.cancel = True

ctlCaptchaControl.ErrorMessage = "Please enter the letters shown in the image"

End If

End Sub

Mitchel,

I did not know enabling ajax was requirement to use the captcha control. I thought ajax was installed by default for the newer versions of dnn. I did not think I had to run a check as your book suggests in one of the chapters. Do I add a script manager to the page?

Thank you

Sorry misread your reply... yes I am using ajax in one of the steps.. I will try disabling it and see if it works

Thx

Mitchel,

I am using a popup modal extender in one of the wizard steps...I did not know Ajax and the captcha control did not play well together. Thank you for the info
