[Solved] No value from editor when using ajax

[Mattias]

Hi,
I have a radgrid in an radajaxpanel and in the grids formtemplate I have an editor from XStandard.com (active-x editor).
If I remove the ajaxpanel the update works and I get the text from the editor.
But if I use the ajaxpanel the value is allways blank!
What can be the reason for that?

Regards,
Mattias

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server" LoadingPanelID="radAjaxLoadingPanel">
     <telerik:RadGrid ID="radGridMenus" runat="server" AllowPaging="false" CssClass="radgrid"
...

     <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
            <FormTemplate>
                 <xs:XHTMLEditor ID="xhtmlEditorPreamble" runat="server" OnLoad="Editor_Load" />
...

protected void radGridMenus_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

GridEditFormItem gridItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;

...

content.Preamble = ((XStandard.WebForms.XHTMLEditor)gridItem.FindControl("xhtmlEditorPreamble")).Value.Trim(); ...

}

Hello Mattias,

Can you please check whether the active-x editor's value is passed as expected when you place it inside regular MS UpdatePanel and postback from a button which resides inside the same panel? If not, most probably the editor does not provide interoperability with the ASP.NET AJAX framework and this causes the erroneous behavior when it is placed inside our grid which is wrapped in RadAjaxPanel.

Note that the alternative solution would be to replace it with our RadEditor as shown on this online demo (as part of GridHTMLEditorColumn):

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/columntypes/defaultcs.aspx

or inside edit template of a template column or FormTemplate custom edit form as demonstrated in the following KB article:
