Your question isn't very clear. From what I understand you need to be able to disable and enable the control on the masterpage from the content page? If so this might help.

Other than that how are you enabling/disabling? Is it in IsPostBack by any chance? This will explain why it works only after refreshing the page. As you're using an update panel this will update separately to the page around it (its AJAX) so this may be a part of your problem.

Other than that please post up some code.

You are nearly there! You need to tell the updatepanel in the master page to update itself

UpdatePanel t = (UpdatePanel)Master.FindControl("UpdatePanel1");
t.Update();

I think you also need to set the UpdateMode to "Conditional" in the updatepanel

Don't forget to have similar code in the master page as so if the person logs in using the master page's login control then the child page should be updated as well.

good luck!

edit:

Sorry I forgot to mention that you definitely need to have an updatepanel in the master page around the login control as well. Otherwise this won't work
