Panel not disabling ?

Hi there, I have put some web controls, textboxes and drop down lists, in a
Panel, so that under a certain condition i can disable all fields for input.
I read in Help that disabling a Panel control (enabled=false) will disable
all child controls within it - just what i want. but it just doesnt work.
panMyPanel.Enabled=false; does absolutely nothing. panMyPanel.Visible=false
does hide the whole section, so i know i'm referencing it properly. Why wont
Enabled work? It is not within a datagrid or repeater or anything just in th
e
form tag. Do I really have to iterate through panMyPanel.Controls (i may
aswell not use the panel)
ThanksI have tested now also. Its working properly for me. Which browser are you
working on. It will not work in downlevel browser. For more detail, refer
this link.

Well I'm stumped then! I'm using IE6. It just ignores the command completely
.
Looks like i'll have to iterate through and disable individually.
:o(
incidentally, converting Control to webcontrol in panMyPanel.Controls
returns an error (invalid cast). How do you say for all webcontrols in a
panel? (i really dont want to say for all where name=textbox, dropdown, etc,
painful)

Private Sub DisableControl(c as WebControl)
c.Enabled=flase
dim cc as WebControl
for each cc in c.Controls
DisableControl(cc)
next
End Sub
Then Call DisableControl(panelX)
