[Solved] Disable controls during callback

[Flemming Rosenbrandt]

Hi

I use a couple of functions that you gave in the forum a while ago. They disable controls during callback.

function RequestStart(sender, args)
  {
   var ctrl = document.getElementById(args.EventTarget);
  if (ctrl != null)
   {
    ctrl.disabled = true;
   }
  }
function ResponseEnd(sender, args)
 {
  var ctrl = document.getElementById(args.EventTarget);
  if (ctrl != null)
   {
    ctrl.disabled = false;
   }
 }

AjaxManager:

<ClientEvents OnRequestStart="RequestStart" OnResponseEnd="ResponseEnd" />

...

Is this still the correct way to do it with the Prometheus controls?

And wouldn’t it be a nice thing to implement directly in the AjaxManager?

After a quick test and looking at the Prometheus Ajax documentation (http://www.telerik.com/help/radcontrols/prometheus/ajxDisableControlsDuringAJAX.html), this seems like the correct approach. Do you suggest implementing a collection that would contain all the controls that would be disabled on ajax request?

” Do you suggest implementing a collection that would contain all the controls that would be disabled on ajax request?”

Yes – this could be a solution – or the possibility to disable all/none of the controls or the control making the request. Most of  the time I want all controls to be disabled during an ajax request.

Hello Flemming,

We already have this suggestion logged for the asp.net ajax controls. I will log it for the Prometheus version as well, and if feasible we will introduce such functionality out of the box. Your Telerik points have been updated.

All the best,
