Disabling RadToolBarItem not working

[Tanja McElvey]

Hello,
I hope someone can help me with this. We are trying to disable certain RadToolBarItems, when another RadToolBarItem has been clicked. We tried the following two ways:

RadToolBar1.Items[6].Enabled = false;

Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolBarItem Properties = RadToolBar1.FindItemByText("Properties");
Properties.Enabled = false;

The button is still enabled and the user has access to the underlying functionality. Is there any reason why the button shouldn't be disabled using the above code?

Thank  you in advance.
Tanja

Hello Tanja,

I've tested it like this:

RadToolBar1.FindItemByText("Properties").Enabled = false;

and it worked without a problem.  Could you please tell us whether you're using RadAjaxManager/RadAjaxPanel on your page, is this code executed with ajax request?

Best wishes,

I've been sidetracked and just now got back to this. Yes, the RadToolBar is ajaxified. The button will disable properly on regular postback. How do I handle this using AJAX?
Thank you,

Hi Tanja McElvey,

You can place the toolbar inside RadAjaxPanel, for example. You can check our online examples here and here.
