what is the correct configuration of RadAjaxManager - this issue is in ralationship with UpdatePanel !


At first look at the below aspx:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm4.aspx.cs" Inherits="Amlak.WebForm4" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManager>
    <div>
        <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
            <AjaxSettings>
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadComboBox1">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CheckBox1" UpdatePanelRenderMode="Inline" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>
            </AjaxSettings>
        </telerik:RadAjaxManager>
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" AppendDataBoundItems="True"
            OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="1" Value="1" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="2" Value="2" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="3" Value="3" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="4" Value="4" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
        <br />
        <br />
        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox1_CheckedChanged"
            Text="Check Me" TextAlign="Left" />
        <br />
        <br />
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

My code behind is like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace Amlak
{
    public partial class WebForm4 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        protected void RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (RadComboBox1.SelectedItem.Value == "2")
            {
                CheckBox1.Checked = true;
            }
            else
            {
                CheckBox1.Checked = false;
            }

        }

        protected void CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (CheckBox1.Checked)
            {
                TextBox1.Text = "text";
            }
            else
            {
                TextBox1.Text = "";
            }
        }
    }
}

My goals:

  1. I want to force RadComboBox1 to work in AJAX mode and change the CheckBox1.Checked by defined conditions in code behind. -> do not want postback for this.

  2. I want to force CheckBox1 to work in PostBack mode and change the TextBox1.text by defined conditions in code behind. -> I want postback for this.

In this scenario -> RadComboBox1 works fine
but I don't know why OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox1_CheckedChanged" does not fire when we change check of CheckBox1! (because we added it as update of RadComboBox1 In RadAjaxManager1).


My questions:

Should I add RadComboBox1 as update Of RadComboBox1 or not? However it works fine without adding this.

If we add ChechBox1 To RadAjaxManager1 like below:

                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="CheckBox1">

                </telerik:AjaxSetting>
            </AjaxSettings>
        </telerik:RadAjaxManager>
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" AppendDataBoundItems="True"
            OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="1" Value="1" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="2" Value="2" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="3" Value="3" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="4" Value="4" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
        <br />
        <br />
        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox1_CheckedChanged"
            Text="Check Me" TextAlign="Left" />
        <br />
        <br />
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

So it works fine in AJAX mode, but I want to force CheckBox1 to work in PostBack!
How can I fix this issue?

Should I add TextBox1 as update of RadComboBox1 in RadAjaxManager or not?

Thanks for attention to my question. best regards


Solution

  • You can take advantage of the OnRequestStart even of the RadAjaxManager to disable Ajax functionality for specific requests. Here's an updated version of your code that works as you requested:

    <div>
        <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
            <AjaxSettings>
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadComboBox1">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl
                            ControlID="CheckBox1"
                            UpdatePanelRenderMode="Inline" />
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl
                            ControlID="TextBox1"
                            UpdatePanelRenderMode="Inline" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="CheckBox1">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl
                            ControlID="TextBox1"
                            UpdatePanelRenderMode="Inline" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>
            </AjaxSettings>
            <ClientEvents OnRequestStart="onAjaxRequestStart" />
        </telerik:RadAjaxManager>
    
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server"
            AutoPostBack="True"
            AppendDataBoundItems="True"
            OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="1" Value="1" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="2" Value="2" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="3" Value="3" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="4" Value="4" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
    
        <br />
        <br />
    
        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server"
            AutoPostBack="True"
            OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox1_CheckedChanged"
            Text="Check Me"
            TextAlign="Left" />
    
        <br />
        <br />
    
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" />
    
        <telerik:RadCodeBlock runat="server">
            <script type="text/javascript">
                function onAjaxRequestStart(s, e) {
                    var target = e.get_eventTarget(),
                        checkBoxId = '<%= CheckBox1.ClientID %>';
                    if (target === checkBoxId) {
                        e.set_enableAjax(false);
                    }
                }
            </script>
        </telerik:RadCodeBlock>
    </div>
