Show all views of multiview control

I would really like to understand the motivation for needing to show all views at the same time . Normally the views are mutually exclusive and thus you only see one at a time. If for you there is a scenario that requires showing all views simultaneously then maybe you should be using panels with hide/show on navigation and the possibility to 'Show all'. I have some code below which shows you how to achieve this in views but I would not recommend it and ideally ask you to change your design for incorporating this scenario. Anyways here goes...

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (IsPostBack && MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex == MultiView1.Views.Count - 1)

{

if (MultiView1.Views[MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex].Controls.Count == 1)

{

HydrateView();

}

}

}

private void HydrateView()

{

int k = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < MultiView1.Views.Count - 1; i++)

{

View x = (View)MultiView1.Views[i];

for (int j = 0; j < x.Controls.Count; j++)

{

Control c = x.Controls[j] as Panel;

if (c != null)

{

MultiView1.Views[MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex].Controls.AddAt(k, c);

k++;

}

}

}

}

protected void MultiView1_ActiveViewChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex == MultiView1.Views.Count-1) {

HydrateView();

}

}

protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex - 1;

}

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex +1;

}

protected void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = MultiView1.Views.Count - 1;

}
