"Sys.InvalidOperationException: Handler was not added through the Sys.UI.DomEvent.addHandler method" when filter or order GridTemplateColumns

[Luis]

Hi,

I have a problem when i try to filter or group by any column of GridTemplateColumn Type, with anyother type there is no problem.
ther specific exception is: Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.InvalidOperationException: Handler was not added through the Sys.UI.DomEvent.addHandler method.
(Exception Screenshot is attached)

The declaration for the specific column is:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="GMT" SortExpression="GMT" UniqueName="GMT" >
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" />
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblGMT" Text='<%# Bind("GMT") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<br />
<telerik:RadNumericTextBox runat="server" Width="100px" ID="txtGMT" Text='<%# Bind("GMT") %>'  DataType="System.Int16" MaxValue="12" MinValue="-12" NumberFormat-DecimalDigits="0" ShowSpinButtons="true" />
<span style="color: Red">*</span><br />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" ControlToValidate="txtGMT"
ErrorMessage="This field is required" runat="server" Display="Dynamic">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

The scenario:
I have  a MutliView and tabstrips. I have a PageView that contains a combobox and a Radgrid, all with RadAjaxManagerProxy with a MasterPage. The combobox updates the RadGrid, everything works fine just when i try to filter or group by those kind of columns the app crushes with the exception.

I hope you can help me.

Best Regards.

Hi Luis,

This error indicates that a handler is trying to be attached to a javascript event but it failed. Unfortunately it is not clear what might be the reason for this. The column definition you posted looks fine. However you can check the following:
1. Whether you have any client-side scripts that can cause this error, and especially if you attach event handlers client-side.
2. Whether you have configured correctly the AjaxManagerPoxy in the master/content scenario. For more information you can check this help topic as well as ajaxify and update controls in master and content page . Also you see if the error is thrown again if you temporary disable the ajaxifying for the page
3. As a last you can check the RequiredFieldValidator since it also might generate client-side scripts, try temporary disabling it and see if error is thrown again.

Let me know how this works for you and if you need any further assistance.
