RadTooltipManager with postback loosing viewstate

[Andres]

Hi

We're having a very weird problem that we need to have solved as soon as possible.

We are using the radTooltipManager together with the radTreeview.  This works very good, the tooltip shows correctly and the onajaxload event is fired and we can load the correct detailed information.

Now, in the tooltip some textfields are filled with dynamic bound information.  When we change the content of the fields and force a postback, the viewstate of those fields is lost.

We searched everywhere but can't find the source of the problem. 

Here are some code snippets:

The radTooltipManager

 <telerik:RadToolTipManager runat="server" ID="RadToolTipManager1" OnAjaxUpdate="RadToolTipManager1_AjaxUpdate" EnableViewState="true" ShowEvent="FromCode" Modal="true" Width="350" Height="700" AutoTooltipify="false" Position="TopCenter" RelativeTo="BrowserWindow" ManualClose="true" Animation="None" Sticky="true"></telerik:RadToolTipManager>

The ajaxUpdate event

    Protected Sub RadToolTipManager1_AjaxUpdate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.ToolTipUpdateEventArgs)
        Dim ctrl As blah = Page.LoadControl("~/blah.ascx")
        ctrl.ID = "blah" & e.Value
        ctrl.EnableViewState = True
        ctrl.Task_Id = e.Value
        ctrl.bindData()
        e.UpdatePanel.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Add(ctrl)
    End Sub

In the usercontrol there are just some textfields that are filled and a save button.   when we hit the save button, the fields are refilled with the original data and not the new data. 

If we don't rebind the data when we hit the save button, the fields stay totally empty!

Any ideas Telerik Team?

Thx

Hello Andres,

Since I do not have your code I can only assume what could be the reason for the problem.

I suppose that the problem comes from the fact that you set the values for the TextBox in the user control's Page_Load handler. However, in this case, you will have to do it at a later stage in the page lifecycle - for example, in the OnPreRender handler:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
    //this.ShowCurrentDetails();  
}  
 
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)  
{  
    base.OnPreRender(e);  
    this.ShowCurrentDetails();  
} 

In case this does not help, please open a new support ticket and send me a sample, fully runnable project (including DB, if needed) and I will do my best to help.

Sincerely yours,
Svetlina
