Export radgrid to excel and word wouldn't trigger

[Sd]

Hey guys, i have been coding a radgrid with the option to export the data as excel and word. That all works just fine also the export, but when i change visible true/false the export buttons suddenly will not trigger as the first time.

I have these export buttons inside a radpagelayout. The 3'rd button "btnAddP" has visibility change, so when i click it it will hide the export buttons. When the visibility is back to export buttons, they don't do anything when clicked. I wanted to hear some suggestions from you guys and maybe if someone have had the same issue and how to handle it properly.

    {
      tmrChatBoard.Enabled = false;
      rplUpdateP.Visible = true;
      rplRadgrid.Visible = false;

    }

Hi Sam,

Does the problem happen, if you:
- Replace the RadButton controls with regular asp:Button ones?
- Move the buttons outside the PageLayout control
- Hide the buttons on the client-side with style="display:none" and show them with style="display: inline"
- Remove any ajaxification from the page. If the buttons are ajaxified this may prevent the export.
- Put a debugger brake point in the Click server handler and checking whether the ConfigureExport is fired?

I hope that the above ideas will help you out with the debugging and find the reason for the problem.
