[Solved] RadPanelBar no longer uses Skin when Rebind is called during a RadGrid's PreRender

[William]

I have a form with a RadGrid set to use the Outlook skin and a RadPanelBar also set to use the Outlook skin.  This has been working without issue until I followed the code example on how to force all rows in a RadGrid into edit mode.  When this happens, the RadGrid.Rebind() causes the RadPanelBar to loose styling.  I have isolated it to just the Rebind() on the RadGrid's PreRender.

Private Sub rgScripts_PreRender(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles rgScripts.PreRender
    If Not IsPostBack Then
        For Each item As GridItem In rgScripts.MasterTableView.Items
            If TypeOf item Is GridEditableItem Then
                Dim editableItem As GridEditableItem = CType(item, GridDataItem)
                editableItem.Edit = True
            End If
        Next
        rgScripts.Rebind()
    End If
End Sub

My RadGrid and RadPanelBar are defined as followed:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="rgScripts" runat="server" Skin="Outlook" AllowMultiRowEdit="true">
...
</telerik:RadGrid>

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="pbAddNewDrug" runat="server" Width="100%" Skin="Outlook" EnableEmbeddedSkins="true">
...
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

This works perfectly if rgScripts.Rebind() isn't called.

Thanks,
William

Hello William,

Since I am not able to reproduce the described issue, I have attached sample project that implements very similar scenario. Please could you try to clarify what exactly is different in your project in order to replicate that behavior at my side.

I was actually able to resolve the issue by setting the Skin property in the asp.net .skin file for all Rad Controls rather than setting it in the aspx page for every control.  The RadGrid and RadPanelBar each contained about 100 or so other nested Rad Controls and I noticed that things started working correctly when I removed some of the skin property from some of those nested controls being repeating row after row in the RadGrid.  Not sure if this was just a generic CSS type issue (too many nested controls perhaps?), but wanted to reply with the solution that worked for me, and to thank you for the response. 

Thanks,
William
