C# Children of GameObject has it's script disabled after SetActive(false) and SetActive(true)

Here’s the situation:

A have a bunch of buttons and an Input Text Field as children to a Panel. I need to set them invisible at the start of the scene and visible after some conditions are met. For that i use this:

public void HidePanel()
    {
        Panel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

.....
.....
.....
.....

public void ShowPanel()
    {
        Panel.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    }

After I set the Panel active, it sure does pop-up in the scene and the buttons attached to it too. However the buttons animation are dead and so is the InputTextField I have in there too. I can’t even type in the Input Text Field. I use the regular buttons and Input Text Field that come with Unity.

I tried putting the panel in a different Canvas, same thing happened. I tried putting the panel in a differente Scene, same result.

Please help, I have been in this situation for the past 4 days and I can’t be stuck in this situation for much more time, for I need to delivery this project soon.

My english is not the best, so I’m sorry if it is a confusing question. If you need more information, please ask.

Try to add ‘OnEnable()’ method in the panel’s script and call an initialize stuff there to re-enable/re-assign all it’s components. When you have disabled a gameObject it may ‘forget’ all its stuff.
So, if you have some code that initializes animations and other panel stuff in its start or awake, drag this code in a separate method and call this method in OnEnable():

void Start() {
    Init();
}

void Init() {
    // all your panel initialization code here
    animations = GetComponent<Animator>();
    text = GetComponent<Text>();
    // 
}

 void OnEnable() {
     Init();
 }
