Exclude Controls from Loading Panel

[PATRICIA SEIFERT]

I have a RadAjaxPanel that contains several buttons. I want to exclude some controls from triggering the loading panel.
Is this possible?

Hi Patricia ,

To achieve the desired functionality I suggest that you use RadAjaxManager instead of RadAjaxPanel and set LoadingPanelID for the desired updated controls:

Thank you very much that is what I needed!!!

I do have one more question.

I have a table with several controls. The button that I have set to trigger the Loading panel is in the bottom cell of the table.
Right now When I click the button the loading icon only shows over that button, but what i want is the loading panel to cover the entire table.
How do I do this?

That works for showing the loading panel on the whole page but I want it to just cover a panel not the entire page.

Hello Patricia Seifert,

Try setting the button which you have set to trigger the Loading panel as initiator and the panel which you want the loading panel to cover as updated control through the RadAjaxManager settings:

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Button">
    <UpdatedControls>
        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="Panel" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
    </UpdatedControls>
</telerik:AjaxSetting>

and let me know if it works as expected.
