Having a RadAjaxPanel cause a Postback on Another RadAjaxPanel?

[Alex Jones]

The issue is I have many RadAjaxPanels of which each can have many controls which cause a postback.  Some of the data in different RadAjaxPanels is dependent on changes that may be made in other RadAjaxPanels.  Therefore I need the dependent panels to postback and update whenever the "Master" panels update.  Currently I am using the RadAjaxManager to dynamicly set the dependencies.  This would be much simpler if I could Simply have one RadAjaxPanel cause a Postback in another RadAjaxPanel. This way I would not have to set each of the 10 or so controls in each of my panels or update the other panels.

Hello Alex,

I recommend that you take a look at this help topic showing how to achieve interaction between AJAX Panels.
However, please note that RadAjaxPanel control is designed to update only its content controls so it is always recommended using RadAjaxManager when an update to external controls is necessary.

I think my question may have been poorly worded.

I have 2 panels A and B
Panel A has 10 Buttons with need to update both Panel A and B.
Can I set the RadAjaxManager to Update B when A is updated? or Do I need to set all 10 controls individually. 

The issue is that I do not re-render all the controls of Panel A if I Postback for Panel C, therefore the RadAjaxManager do not persist with my settings for the controls of Panel A.  The only thing that is rendered every time is the Control which opens panel A, B, and C.

So, I decided to use JS and a Dictionary system to access the ClientID's of my dependent panel.  Using "$find('{0}').ajaxRequest();" I will set each control individually to cause the postback.
