RadAjaxManager causing all controls to do ajax

[Kevin]

Hello

I have a radajaxmanager that I set a button to do an ajax update on a panel.  The button is located in the panel (it needs to be since the enabled property changes during a certain state.  The ajax is working for the button I specified, but is also working for all the controls in the panel.  Here is an example:

<rad:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <rad:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="btnRefreshGenerationStatus">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <rad:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="pnlGeneratePackage" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </rad:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </rad:RadAjaxManager>

    <rad:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" style="margin-top: 57px;" Transparency="30">
        <img alt="Loading..." src='<%= RadAjaxLoadingPanel.GetWebResourceUrl(Page, "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Default.Ajax.loading.gif") %>' style="border:0;" />
    </rad:RadAjaxLoadingPanel>

and the panels code is:

<asp:Panel ID="pnlGeneratePackage" runat="server">
            <asp:Button ID="btnGeneratePackage" runat="server" Text="Generate Package" SkinID="ButtonLarge" />
            <asp:CheckBox ID="chkGenerateIndex" runat="server" Text="Generate Index" />
            <br />
            <asp:Literal ID="litGeneratePackageStatus" runat="server" Text="Status: " />
            <asp:Label ID="lblGeneratePackageStatus" runat="server" />


            <asp:Button ID="btnRefreshGenerationStatus" runat="server" Text="Refresh Package Generation" SkinID="ButtonLarge" />


            <br />
            <br />
            <asp:Button ID="lnkDownloadPackage" runat="server" Text="Download Package" Visible="false" />
        </asp:Panel>

When I click the btnRefreshGenerationStatus button, it will do a ajax update on all the controls.  When I click the lnkDownloadPackage button, it also does an ajax update which I don't want.  I don't want the other buttons in that panel to do a ajax update. 

Where am I doing wrong here?

Thanks
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

Please note that RadAjaxManager actually wraps the updated controls in UpdatePanels. Therefore the updated controls are behaving in the mentioned way.

It's possible to cancel the request on the RequestStarted client event. Your Panel control should update itself in order this to work.

Let us know if you need more information.
