Grid Disappears Momentarily When Edit or Update is Clicked

[Matt Kerry]

I have a RadGrid, very similar in structure to this one:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/functionality/comboingrid/defaultcs.aspx?product=combobox

With the grid above, if you click on Edit you can see the status bar showing loading and the grid is always visible.

However, on my RadGrid whenever I click on Add, Edit or Update (when in edit mode) the grid disappears momentarily and then re-appears. The functions are all correct, it goes in and out of edit mode correctly and saves to the database where appropriate, it is just a bit disconcerting for the user that the grid disappears between functions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Matt,

Did you Ajaxify the grid like is done in the demo?

<telerik:RadAjaxManager runat="server" ID="RadAjaxManager1">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadGrid1">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

If the grid is not ajaxified then regular post-back will happen when you click on Add, Edit, Update. In such a case the page will be reloaded by the browser on each post-back and the grid along with all other controls will disappear for a moment.

Kind regards,
