Makes more sense now.. You will need to do the following steps- 1. Create a dictionary object with 2. when you're looping to create buttons, store each button in the dictionary with value false. 3. whenever user selects a button inside the panel, modify the corresponding button value in dictionary from false to True. 4. On proceed button, when you recreate the panel and buttons using loop, check the status of button in the dictionary. If the status is false, then btn.Enabled=false else btn.Enabled=true. Hope this helps!

1. On button click, get the reference of the button that was clicked. 2. Disable the panel 2. Enable the clicked button. protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Button b = (Button)sender; if(b!=null) { pnl.Enabled=false; b.Enabled=true; } }
