RadAjaxManager with RadPageLayout

[Simon Maystre]

We have controls within a RadPageLayout control that we would like to add into RadAjaxManager individually but the UI in VS does not show any of the controls within the RadPageLayout control.

So the only option seems to be a full refresh of the whole RadPageLayout control. Is there any way to manage the controls within the RadPageLayout at all?

Hi Simon,

Here is a simple example for enabling AJAX for nested controls in the RadPageLayout:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager runat="server">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadButton1">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="Panel1" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>
<telerik:RadPageLayout runat="server">
    <Rows>
        <telerik:LayoutRow >
            <Content>
                <telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" Text="Update panel"></telerik:RadButton>
                <asp:Panel runat="server" ID="Panel1">
                    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" />
                </asp:Panel>
            </Content>
        </telerik:LayoutRow>
    </Rows>
</telerik:RadPageLayout>

However, if the content is dynamically created, you should use the approach demonstrated in the following help topic:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/ajaxmanager/how-to/add-ajaxsettings-programmatically

Hope this helps.

Thanks for confirming this can be done. Is it just in the VS UI that the Ajax settings cannot be managed when inside a RadPageLayout?

Hello Simon,

If you are referring to the "Ajax Settings Configuration Wizard", if you have a markup similar to the one in my last post, the controls within the RadPageLayout iwll be visible in the wizard. 

If you have something different in mind, please provide some additional information on the exact scenario that you have.
