Mulitple AjaxControlIDs in AjaxSetting

[Rafael Janetzek]

Hi everyone,

when I add AjaxSettings to my pages i often have to repeat the same Ajaxsetting for each ajax enabeld control

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Button1" >
  <UpdatedControls >
     <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="container" />
  </UpdatedControls>
  </telerik:AjaxSetting>
<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Button2" >
  <UpdatedControls >
    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="container"/>
  </UpdatedControls>
</telerik:AjaxSetting>

this settings list tends to get very long. Would it be possible to combine the settings for example like this

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Button1,Button2" >

<UpdatedControls >

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="container" />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

Please share your thoughts on this.

Hello Rafael,

The functionality you request (having multiple controls as ajax initiators through in a single ajax setting)  is not supported by RadAjaxManager. You will need to define separate ajax setting for each initiator either from design-time or programmatically.

Thank you for answer.  Don't you think this could be a neat feature in future releases ?

Hi Rafael,

Thank you for your suggestion. I will forward it to our development department for further consideration. Therefore if this appears to be a common request and attainable enhancement, you may see it included in a future version of the product.

i agree as welll

I also believe this would be a great enhancement to the structure. I have a grid of buttons that need to update a calendar control and the only way that I can see to do it without it getting messy is to assign the same event handler to each one and have that one event handler update the ajax setting. Doing this declaratively would require me to add 33 AjaxSettings to my AjaxManager.

[Daniel Frumkin]

I agree.   it's a messy declaration and this would help significantly

I agree this would be a very useful feature to reduce code duplication.

Hello Jan,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The requested improvement is not available in the control and for the time being, there aren't development plans for it.

Adding that feature would be a much more elegant solution to the problem.
