loadingpanel for a ajaxrequest from closing radwindow

[Geert]

Hello,

We have the following situation:

A masterpage with a radajaxmanager and a loadingpanel (GlobalLoadingPanel)
A usercontrol A on the master with a radajaxmanagerproxy
A radwindow on the usercontrol with a onclientcloseEvent
when closing $find("<%= RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page).ClientID %>").ajaxRequest(arg.Text); which triggers a ajaxrequest for the proxy.

The proxy updates another usercontrol B on the usercontrol 

<

telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy ID="MetisCollectionManager" runat="server">
<AjaxSettings>
<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="MetisCollectionManager" >
<UpdatedControls>
<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="pnlCollectionEmployee_Updatable"
LoadingPanelID="GlobalLoadingPanel" />
</UpdatedControls>
</telerik:AjaxSetting>


problem: the loadingpanel is not showing on usercontrol B

Is this possible??

thanks in advance

Hello Geert,

One possible reason for the presented issue could be adding the LoadingPanel into the radAjaxManager settings in some level in the application. However without having sample project to debbug, it will be rather deaficult to isolate this problem.
Will it be convenient for you to open a regular support ticket and send us small runnable project which represents the described behaviour? We will test it locally and advise you further.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Sorry we didn't replied sooner but there were some more important issues to deal with first. Meanwhile I played around and found the solution. I'll try to explain:

<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy ID="MetisCollectionManager" runat="server">
<AjaxSettings>
<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="MetisCollectionManager" >
<UpdatedControls>
<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="B"
LoadingPanelID="GlobalLoadingPanel" />
</UpdatedControls>
</telerik:AjaxSetting>

problem: the loadingpanel is not showing on usercontrol B

solution: Do not use as ajaxcontrol the proxy but the id of the manager itself (from the masterpage)!!
<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy ID="MetisCollectionManager" runat="server">
<AjaxSettings>
<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Manager" >
<UpdatedControls>
<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="B"
LoadingPanelID="GlobalLoadingPanel" />
</UpdatedControls>
</telerik:AjaxSetting>


In the code behind of the page where the manager is placed you can set the settings for the proxy as follows:

RadAjaxProxyManager p = usercontrol.GetProxy();
p.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(Manager, usercontrol.B, LoadingPanel);

Hope this can help to document the issue or to help others with similar problems

Hello,

Previous solution does work but when I applied my old solution (above) which didn't work before do work for another usercontrol and there imply problems with other loadingpanels.

Sorry to say but I'm getting really frustrated with the ajaxmanagers, proxy's and loadingpanels.

About the solution: If implemented please pray to the correct God and it will work properly.

Hi Geert,

I have to admit you were nearly there with the solution posted on 10/08/2008. You where right that the Manager should be set as ajax initiator but you did not guess where to add the ajax setting so I will help you now.

Please remove any settings added in the user control or the page where control "B" is update from the manager or the proxy manager. In the user control then handler the Page_Prerender event and try the following code:

protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadAjaxManager manager = RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page);
    manager.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(manager, usercontrol.B, LoadingPanel);
}

Let me know if this helps and if any issues arise.

Sincerely yours,
Iana
