Splitter Sliding zone, Reset on Ajax

[fglrxandyou]

This has an effect on only update-panel based controls (Prometheus Ajax items and the Update Panel itself) from AjaxToolkit.

When an item is placed within the sliding pane, and that item (not the pane) updated by an update panel, the pane collapses and reopens (quickly).  It's disconcerting, to say the least.

This can be seen not only with the mentioned Ajax from Prometheus, but also from the Ajax (Update Panel) in the ToolTipManager.

I believe this also happens whether or not the element is on the Pane or outside the pane, but since I have just reverted to the old control, I don't have the time really to go back and iterate through the examples.  If a developer wishes for more information or a demonstration I can do such, but it's as simple as this:

<splitter>
    <pane>
          <zone>
               <sPane>
                   <updatePanel>
                       <trigger> button </trigger>
                       <content> <item/> </content>
                   </updatePanel>
              </sPane>
          </zone>
    </pane>
</splitter>

<button>

I have a similar issue with Rad Ajax Manager and a Sliding Pane. I have a button that calls a javascript expandPane() to open the sliding pane. The pane opens just fine but then quickly closes and reopens. Is there a similar hot fix for Rad Ajax Manager or the Splitter control?

Thanks.

Hello crownmark,
I am afraid I could not completely understand your scenario, so could you please provide additional details on the case. How is the RadAjaxManager configured and which manager do you use - the Prometheus version or the old one?

It would be great, if you could provide a test project that demonstrates the described behavior.

Sincerely yours,

Tsvetie,

Thanks for your quick response. I am using RadControls for .Net. I think I found my problem or at least a work around. I was using an std input button to call a javascript to open the slider. I changed the "input" button to an "asp:button" and now the slider behaves correctly. That is, it opens and remains open and does not close and reopen as I was seeing before.

I am not at my development computer today but I will create a small test application and post it over the the Rad Ajax forum.

I posted here cause the original issue seemed quite similar to what I was experiencing.

Thanks,
Mark.

Hi crownmark,
We would appreciate you sending us a test project to investigate the problem. As you cannot attach files to a forum post, please send the project as an attachment to a new support ticket.
