Hello,


In my webpage I try to add a user control into RadPanelBar during ItemDataBound event. The user control showed up correctly after the 1st page load, but if user do post back the adding control is disappeared. I figured it could be related to viewstate mismatch, so I try give control a unique ID but problem still persist.

 

Any help is very appreciated!

 

Here is my test page code: http://209.200.250.235/Dynamic_panelbar_test.zip

 

Thanks.

Resolved. Thanks Paul from Telerik team.

My final changes are:
1. Changed Page_Load:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)    
{    
    //enable AJAX update on PanelBar    
    RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page).AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(this.uxRadMenuBarML, this.uxRadMenuBarML);    
    
    if (!IsPostBack)    
    {    
        RadPanelItem radPanelItem = new RadPanelItem();    
        uxRadMenuBarML.Items[0].Items.Add(radPanelItem);    
    }    
    
    //Control ctl = Page.LoadControl(item.NestedUserControlPath); // load user control    
    Button ctl = new Button(); // here we create a dummy button control for test    
    ctl.Text = "I am a test button. Click me and I should not disappear";    
    ctl.ID = "TestButton" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();    
    uxRadMenuBarML.Items[_menuBarDataItem[i].Id].Items[0].Controls.Add(ctl);    
}    
 

2. Changed uxRadMenuBarML_ItemDataBound
 
    protected void uxRadMenuBarML_ItemDataBound(object sender, RadPanelBarEventArgs e)  
    {  
        LFMenuBarDataItem item = (LFMenuBarDataItem)e.Item.DataItem;  
 
        if (!item.IsNestedUserControl) // nested user control  
        {  
            e.Item.ImageUrl = item.ImagePath;  
        }  
 
        e.Item.Value = item.Id.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);  
        e.Item.Expanded = item.IsMenuExpanded;  
 
    }
