GridView Ajax Control in EditItemTemplate of RadGrid

GridView Ajax Control in EditItemTemplate of RadGrid

1. I have a RadGrid that would like to be ajaxed.
2. Inside a GridTemplateColumn / EditItemTemplate I have a <asp:GridView.
3. inside the GridView I have a button named "ButtonAdd".

When I click "ButtonAdd" I want to GridView to load via ajax and it should have a loading panel. But I do not want a loading panel on the entire RadGrid.
When I click the Update/Insert/Delete/Cancel buttons or do any normal RadGrid stuff I want the entire RadGrid to show a loading panel like it does now.

This code allows the GridView to work correctly but the RadGrid is not longer ajaxed.

<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Gridview1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="Gridview1" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy>
    <telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" />

This code always shows the loading panel over the entire RadGrid, but that is not what I need.

<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Gridview1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="Gridview1" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadGrid1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy>
    <telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" />

Can this be done?

Thanks, Marty

Hi Marty,

In case you need to have the whole RadGrid control perform Ajax and not only the GridView the whole Grid should be ajaxified which will cause the RadGrid also perform Ajax. After adding the whole RadGrid control to update itself when and inner control initiate an Ajax request the response will include the whole RadGrid contain in the response base on the updated control which is the whole RadGrid. Thus behavior could not be avoid with the current RadAjax implementation.

Thanks,
Princy.

Princy, 

Thanks, so is there any way to just ajaxifiy a single control without disabling ajax for the entire grid?

Hi moegal,

As far as I know it is not possible to ajaxify the inner control of RadGrid without ajaxifying the RadGrid. The RadGrid will automatically ajaxify if we are ajaxifying the inner control. Please have a look into this forum thread for more information.

Thanks,
Princy.
