I have a two pageBlocks and I want to display the second pageBlock after the command button the first pageBlock is fired.

I created a boolean public property in my controller:

public Boolean IsShown{ get; set; }

I set the property in my method:

public PageReference ChildAccountOwnershipCount() { Account parent = [Select Id, OwnerId From Account where Id =: parentAcct.ParentId]; ChildAccountCount = [Select Count() From Account where ParentId =: parent.Id]; ChildAccountCount += ChildAccountCount + 1; IsShown = true; return null; }

Here is my VF code:

<apex:actionRegion > <apex:pageBlock title="Update Specific District or Account Ownership" mode="edit" id="ChildAccountsPageBlock"> <apex:pageBlockButtons > <apex:commandButton action="{!ChildAccountOwnershipCount}" value="Update" rerender="ChildAccountsPageBlock, Msg, ChildAccountConfirmPageBlock" /> <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel" immediate="true" /> </apex:pageBlockButtons> <apex:pageBlockSection title="Used to update owner of specified account and related child accounts" columns="1"> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem > <apex:outputLabel value="Change Owner To" for="new_account_owner" /> <apex:inputField value="{!AccountToByParent.ownerId}" id="new_account_owner" /> </apex:pageBlockSectionItem> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem > <apex:outputLabel value="District Account to update" for="account_name" /> <apex:inputField value="{!DistrictAccount.parentId}" id="account_name" required="true" /> </apex:pageBlockSectionItem> </apex:pageBlockSection> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:actionRegion> <apex:actionRegion > <apex:pageBlock id="ChildAccountConfirmPageBlock" rendered="{!IsShown}" > <apex:pageBlockButtons > <apex:commandButton action="{!updateChildAccountOwnership}" value="Confirm" rerender="ChildAccountsPageBlock, Msg" status="ChildAccountsLoadingStatus" /> <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel" immediate="true" /> </apex:pageBlockButtons> <apex:actionStatus id="ChildAccountsLoadingStatus"> <apex:facet name="start"> Updating records... <img src="{!$Resource.AjaxLoading}"/> </apex:facet> </apex:actionStatus> <apex:pageBlockSection > <apex:outputLabel value="You are about to update {!ChildAccountCount} accounts. Please click to confirm." /> </apex:pageBlockSection> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:actionRegion>

The second pageBlock does not open when the page posts back?

Thanks.
