AjaxSettings in RadMultiPage hell

[Craig Wallace]

Hi,
I have the following control-structure:

<master>
    <radscriptmanager />
    <radajaxmanager />
    <page>
        <radajaxmanagerproxy />
        <tabs_usercontrol>
            <radajaxmanagerproxy />
            <radtabstrip />
            <radmultipage>
                <page_usercontrol1>
                    <button />
                </page_usercontrol1>
                <page_usercontrol2>
                    <button />
                </page_usercontrol2>
                <page_usercontrol3>
                    <radajaxmanagerproxy>
                        <ajaxsettings />
                    </radajaxmanagerproxy>
                    <radtextbox />
                    <button />
                </page_usercontrol3>
                <page_usercontrol4>
                    <button />
                </page_usercontrol4>
            </radmultipage>
        </tabs_usercontrol>
    </page>
</master>

Everything works as expected, with ajax postbacks and updates in page_usercontrol3 being correctly handled.

Niow, I want to add a radajaxmanagerproxy and ajaxsettings to the other page_usercontrols.  But, when I add the proxy and settings to any of the other controls to handle the button click, I get a client-side ajax error that says:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.InvalidOperationException: Could not find UpdatePanel with ID 'ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_tabs1_MyContent_txtMyInputPanel'. If it is being updated dynamically then it must be inside another UpdatePanel.

This error seems to be pointing to a field on the page_usercontrol3 control, which works perfectly well on it's own, but something goes wrong when handing postbacks on the other multipage contents.

Can you please give me a steer as to what is going on here?

I am not using the loadondemand style multipages.  If I do, I get the same problem but worse, as it happens no matter which tab I go to.

Thanks.

Okay, I added AjaxSettings to the page for the tabs_usercontrol just saying that it updates itself, and now the error is gone.

But only ajax postbacks now work  All non-ajax postbacks do nothing! :(

Any ideas?

Thanks.
