share data among panels before refreshing

[Renzo]

Hi everybody,
I'm testing Telerik controls in order to use them in a wss/moss custom application. I need help passing data between different Panels.

My final goal is to make refreshing different web parts when i click on a control on a single web part passing some data to the other web parts before they render again.

I designed my app with 2 panel: a menu area and a content area.
The idea was to customize the master page where I put:

• 1 asp:ScriptManager
• 1 telerik:RadAjaxManager

<asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="ScriptManagerMain" />

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManagerMain" runat="server">

<AjaxSettings>

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="CustomPanelMenu">

<UpdatedControls>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadAjaxLoadingPanelMain"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CustomPanelMain"  />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="CustomPanelMain">

<UpdatedControls>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadAjaxLoadingPanelMain"/>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CustomPanelMenu" />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

</AjaxSettings>

</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

• 1 asp:Panel to be used for menu purposes

                <asp:Panel ID="CustomPanelMenu" runat="server">
                    <WebParts:TestMenu001 runat="server" ID="TestMenu001_1" Title="MenuSx" __MarkupType="vsattributemarkup" __WebPartId="{0ce525f0-089d-4f57-902a-78d4b87b34b9}" WebPart="true" __designer:IsClosed="false" />
              </asp:Panel>

• 1 asp:Panel where I put the standard moss content placeholder "PlaceHolderMain" for main content web parts
• 1 telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel to make the application more interactive

<telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanelMain" runat="server"/>

<asp:Panel ID="CustomPanelMain" runat="server">
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Panel>

As you can see in the first code block, I configured the RadAjaxManager in order to update the panels.
I had to pass data between the web part I will put in the panels:
For example: when I click on a control in the web part put in the menu panel I want the web part put in the CustomPanelMain will refresh with the id I chose.

I try to put data in the Page.Session, but I tested that the refresh on the main web part will start before the data is written in the menu web part.
What am I wronging? What do you suggest to do that?

Many thanks,
RF

Hi Renzo,

Try the following settings for the RadAjaxManager control:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManagerMain" runat="server">
     <AjaxSettings>
         <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="CustomPanelMenu">
             <UpdatedControls>
                 <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CustomPanelMenu"/>
                 <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CustomPanelMain"  />
              </UpdatedControls>
         </telerik:AjaxSetting>
         <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="CustomPanelMain">
             <UpdatedControls>
                 <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CustomPanelMain"/>
                 <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CustomPanelMenu" />
             </UpdatedControls>
         </telerik:AjaxSetting>
     </AjaxSettings>
 </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Hope it helps.
