Dynamically created RadButton not posting back

[ChuckRock]

I am dynamically creating radbuttons on a webpage, but cannot get them to post back to the server. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the code, this is within a loop creating the items:

aComboBox(aTextBoxCount) = New TextBox

aComboBox(aTextBoxCount).TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine

aComboBox(aTextBoxCount).ReadOnly = True

aEditButton(aTextBoxCount) = New RadButton

aEditButton(aTextBoxCount).Text = "Edit"

aEditButton(aTextBoxCount).ID = aTextBoxCount

aEditButton(aTextBoxCount).AutoPostBack = True

AddHandler aEditButton(aTextBoxCount).Click, AddressOf EditText

 

 

aComboBox(aTextBoxCount).ID = "aComboBox" & aTextBoxCount

aComboBox(aTextBoxCount).Width = TextBoxWidth

aComboBox(aTextBoxCount).DataBind()

aComboBox(aTextBoxCount).Text = ""

 

RadMultiPage1.PageViews(cCheckBoxTab).Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("<table><tr><td style=""width: 45px""></td><td>"))

RadMultiPage1.PageViews(cCheckBoxTab).Controls.Add(aComboBox(aTextBoxCount))

RadMultiPage1.PageViews(cCheckBoxTab).Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("</td><td>"))

RadMultiPage1.PageViews(cCheckBoxTab).Controls.Add(aEditButton(aTextBoxCount))

RadMultiPage1.PageViews(cCheckBoxTab).Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("</td></tr></table>"))

Hi ChuckRock,

Please have a look into the following code snippet to create a RadButton dynamically and post back the RadButton to the server side.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" runat="server" MultiPageID="RadMultiPage1">
    <Tabs>
        <telerik:RadTab Text="Tab1" runat="server" PageViewID="RadPageView1">
        </telerik:RadTab>
    </Tabs>
</telerik:RadTabStrip>
<telerik:RadMultiPage ID="RadMultiPage1" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageView1" runat="server">
    </telerik:RadPageView>
</telerik:RadMultiPage>

VB:

Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    'creating a radbutton
    Dim Button As New RadButton()
    Button.ID = "RadButton1"
    Button.Text = "Click"
    AddHandler Button.Click, AddressOf Me.Button_Click
    RadMultiPage1.FindPageViewByID("RadPageView1").Controls.Add(Button)
End Sub
Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    'click event of the dynamically created radbutton
    Throw New NotImplementedException()
End Sub

Thanks,
Shinu

Shinu,

Thanks for the example.  I was able to get that to work by itself; but was not able to get it to work on the page I need it.  Apparently something else was interfering with it. 

After troubleshooting a bit longer, I found that it was the RadAjaxManager that was the culprit.

Thanks again for your help, it lead me in the right direction.

Sinhu,

Unfortunately, I have not completely gotten this problem fixed.  I have stripped down the page in question as much as I can.  Below you will see the aspx and aspx.vb portions.

The sticking point seems to be that I have two RadCombo Boxes on the page.  If I remove them, then the dynamically created buttons behave as they should.  If the combo boxes are left on the page; then the created button does not post back!

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Hi ChuckRock,

The dynamically created RadButton postback is not happening because the RadButton is added inside the "RadMultiPage1", which is ajaxified. If you want to ajaxify the controls inside the "RadMultiPage1" then Please try to specify each controls inside the "RadMultiPage1" separately. Otherwise all the controls inside the "RadMultiPage1" will be ajaxified.

Thanks,
Shinu.
