Hi,
I tried to use the RadAjaxManager with the wizard control but there are some things I do not really understand.
1. Does the configuration dialog for the AjaxManager only work in the currently selected WizardStep?
2. If you declare some new AjaxSettings for controls in other wizard steps is it possible that those controls are not rendered correctly because the AjaxManager creates Panels around them which do not have the same settings as the controls?

Would help me a lot to know that.

Best regards
Ferdinand

Hi Ferdinand,

I am afraid that the wizard controls are not compatible with ajax. You can see the list of all incompatible controls here.
I suggest that you consider using RadTabStrip/RadMultiPage or different user controls in order to achieve your goal instead.

Hi Iana,
somehow I expected something like this. Well, nevertheless I thing I found a little trick to achieve a little compatiblity...just for those who need this as much as I do ;)
I added my AjaxSettings programtically to the AjaxManager differentiating which WizardSteps is actually active:

    
            switch (this.sqlFilterWizard.ActiveStepIndex) 
        
                        { 
        
                            case 0: 
        
                                AjaxSetting treeSetting = new AjaxSetting(this.rtvDatatypes.ID); 
        
                                updControl = new AjaxUpdatedControl(this.rlbFields.ID, ""); 
        
                                treeSetting.UpdatedControls.Add(updControl); 
        
                                this.ramSqlFilterAssistant.AjaxSettings.Add(treeSetting); 
        
                                break; 
        
                            case 1:                     
        
                                AjaxSetting rblTooltipSetting = new AjaxSetting(this.rcbDataInput.ID); 
        
                                updControl = new AjaxUpdatedControl(this.panelParameterTooltip.ID, ""); 
        
                                rblTooltipSetting.UpdatedControls.Add(updControl); 
        
                                this.ramSqlFilterAssistant.AjaxSettings.Add(rblTooltipSetting); 
        
                            default: 
        
                                break; 
        
                      }

This only the controls are axaified that really exist on the current page.

Best regards
Ferdinand

I checked again and found that I'm using the AJAXToolkit AJAX Manager.
It turns out the when I commented out

ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender  control, the error no longer appears.
So, it seems like when I upgrade something happened to the AJAXToolkit control.

I'll try using the RadTimeTicker. How can I set a ValidationGroup on this?
