[Solved] Does RadAjaxLoadingPanel not work with listviews?

[Duane Faithen]

Hi, I have been using the rad ajax controls and loading panels for several years now. I am well aquainted with how they work. I am currently working on a panel in which we had to use a listview due to complex layout issues (several rowspans/colspans). No matter how I try it I cannot get the update panel to show at all. Everything else is functioning exactly as expected, just no loading panel. The only other forum post I found similar to this issue, the poster gave up and used the radgrid. That unfortunately is not an option for us on this particular task.

I am hoping that someone over there can let me know if this is a limitation of the controlset or if there is some mysterious thing I am missing.

Thanks for your help,
Duane

Hello Duane,

There are two options to display RadAjaxLoadingPanel when the page is submit via your MS ListView control:

• Wrapping the entire content of your LIstView's LayoutTemplate inside a wrapper control with runat="server" attribute and marking this wrapper as an initiator and updated control through the RadAjaxManager settings.
• Placing the ListView inside asp Panel and making it initiator and updated control through the RadAjaxManager settings.

For your further convenience I am attaching a simple test site which illustrates both approaches. Note that the second ajax manager setting is commented since you can use only one of them at a time.

Kind regards,
Sebastian
