Disabling RadGrid refresh after AJAX request

[Zdeněk]

Hi,
I have RadNumericTextBox in teplate field of RadGrid. There are many rows=many texboxes. Users will fill some number in numeric textbox and by pressing Tab I want to:
- save edited value from radnumerictextbox to database through AJAX call
- move to another row (=next RadNumericTextbox), edit value, press Tab etc...

I set for each RadNumericTextBox OnValueChanged client side event.  But after AJAX call radgrid refresh itself and RadNumericTextbox looses focus.  RadGrid is not  AJAXified. What do I have wrong? Thank you.

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox  ID="txtCounterValue" runat="server"  Width="80"
                                            MinValue="0" NumberFormat-AllowRounding="false" NumberFormat-DecimalDigits="0"
                                            EnabledStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" EnabledStyle-Font-Bold="true"
                                            >
                                            <ClientEvents OnValueChanged="CounterValueChanged" />
                                        </telerik:RadNumericTextBox>

and javascript:

function CounterValueChanged(sender, args) {

                var allOK = true;

                var oldValue = args.get_oldValue();

                var newValue = args.get_newValue();

$find("<%= RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page).ClientID %>").ajaxRequest('UpdateCounter')

      


           }

Hello Zdenek,

You do need the grid to refresh in order to keep it in synchrony with its underlying datasource - as RadGrid is a data-bound control. However, one possible solution is to refocus the textbox on each ajax request - for that purpose you can use the ScriptManager's SetFocus(Control controlToFocus) method in the PreRender event of the page.

Hope it helps.
