Wondering if someone here can help.
I have an AJAX tabcontainer which has a number of tabs and each tab contains a user control. When I add a new item from one of the tabs, it is not reflected in the user control in another tab unless a postback occurs. (e.g. the first tab has a listview where I add a new record and the second has a simple form which contains a drop-down which I expect to contain value added from first tab).
How can I make the tabcontainer to refresh its tabs from a usercontrol?
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Ali
You could fire an event from your first user control so that the page can handle this event and tell the other usercontrol to databind
Here is a example
<act:TabContainer ID="TabContainer2" runat="server" CssClass="EmployeeProfile" ActiveTabIndex="0">
<act:TabPanel ID="TabPanel1" runat="server" HeaderText="Datos Generales">
<ContentTemplate>
<br />
<uc1:EmployeeGeneralDetails ID="EmployeeGeneralDetails2" runat="server" OnUpdated="EmployeeGeneralDetails2_OnUpdated" />
</ContentTemplate>
</act:TabPanel>
<act:TabPanel ID="TabPanel2" runat="server" HeaderText="Referenias Personales">
<ContentTemplate>
<uc3:EmployeeResumeView ID="EmployeeResumeView2" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
</act:TabPanel>
</act:TabPanel>
protected void EmployeeGeneralDetails2_OnUpdated(object o, EventArgs e)
{
EmployeeResumeView2.DataBind();
}

I'm trying out the OnDemand feature of the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit TabContainer to delay execution of expensive operations until the tab is loaded.
On my page there are a few tabs, and each tab's content consists of a single user control
<ajaxToolkit:TabContainer ID="TabContainer1" ActiveTabIndex="0" OnDemand="True" runat="server">
<ajaxToolkit:TabPanel ID="TabPanel1" HeaderText="tab 1" runat="server" >
<ContentTemplate>
<UC:Tab1 runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
</ajaxToolkit:TabPanel>
<ajaxToolkit:TabPanel ID="TabPanel2" HeaderText="tab 2" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<UC:Tab2 runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
</ajaxToolkit:TabPanel>
</ajaxToolkit:TabContainer>
Each of these user controls is then wired up to a presenter with a custom MVP framework I inherited. The presenter is executed in OnLoad
// In user control
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
presenter.BuildView(); // this is what I want to delay until the tab is active
}
Since OnLoad is always called, regardless of the tab being active, I know it's the appropriate event to attach to. What is the proper event to attach to, so that I can achieve the same effect as the example provided here with the SqlDataSource's selecting event only firing when the tab is loaded.
Maybe override Render? Or CreateChildControls?
I want to set the textbox contol located in the panel control via code
I know to retrieve the inputted value in the textbox control:
string myVal = Request.Form["txtResult"];
I want to set the txtResult.text = "some text";
makeup snippet:
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Style="display: none" Width="233px">
<asp:TextBox ID="txtResult" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<div align="center">
<asp:Button ID="OkButton" runat="server" Text="OK" />
<asp:Button ID="CancelButton" runat="server" Text="Cancel" />
</div>
</asp:Panel>
txtResult is not available within code, I tried to see if it is available in the page_load, it's not
texReults was a typo, its txtResult, I updated the ID
the intellisense does not recognize any cntr by the name txtResult
its a new web application and the panel visibility=True
maybee this wil help, above the snipet, I use ScriptManager from the AJAX Exstension
I am aware of he Asnchronius affects, partial potback, etc.
It's a managed control, you should be able to set it on the Page_Load event:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
txtResult.Text = "some text";
}
Update: Based on your update, there are a couple of things that you would need to check:
Spelling: Are you sure you're spelling the control name correctly?
Its ID in your code is "txtResults", but you're referencing it as
"txtResult".
Designer: Did you copy the aspx page or bypass VS in some way for this page? If so check the .designer file for the reference to the control: i.e. "Page1.aspx.designer.cs"
Visibility: Is the Panel control's visibility set to true? If not, then it won't render the controls that are contained within it.
Update 2: If you're doing this through scriptmanager, then I highly recommend that you read through this: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/Using-the-ASP-NET-AJAX-ScriptManager.id-305492.html
I have a gridview where I have button for each row. After clicking this button, the Modal PopUp Extender Panel is opened (with PanelName.Show()). The Panel contains a user control, which shows some labels, textboxes,etc. with an additional info binded form SqlDataSource. Until this point it works well. But, when I click another button, the panel is purely shown but the content is not refreshed (based on which button is clicked, some details info should be shown). Basically, the method SqlDataSource_Selecting is called only for the panel popup showing but not anymore.
How can I force panel to be refreshed (reloaded) after each PanelName.Show()??
Thanks in advance.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, I think the problem is that you just need to re-Bind your data bound controls after the user clicks the button to change the Selected item. You can use [ControlName].DataBind() to do that. Does that make sense?
It depends on whether the control(s) you want to refresh are DataBound() or not.
In other words, can you force the control to reload by using a DataBind() method call to force the control to reload itself, with either the same or new data?
Most GUI controls have the DataBind() method, but it's useless if the control is not actually using data to work!
This is why in your case your panel is not "refreshed" with new data because using a DataBind() on the panel does nothing. Using a databind() on the entire GridView is a different story and should work. Maybe place an UPDATEPANEL around the whole lot? If you do you have to be careful your normal edits and other Commands on the rows will continue to work.
However, What you can do is place the modalpopupextender inside your TemplateField, and using a "trick", you can keep your server post backs and still fire the popup panel.
ie
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upADDMAIN" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnADD" runat="server" Text="NEW LOGIN" BackColor="Blue" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#FFFFCC" OnClick="btnADD_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnDUM" runat="server" style="display:none" />
<div style="height:20px">
</div>
<ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpeADD" runat="server"
targetcontrolid="btnDUM"
popupcontrolid="upADD"
backgroundcssclass="modelbackground">
</ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upAdd" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlADD" runat="server" Width="700px" HorizontalAlign="Center" CssClass="auto-style10" Height="200px">
..
..
<div id="puFTR" class="auto-style17" style="vertical-align: middle">
<asp:Button id="btnOK" runat="server" Text="OK" style="width: 80px" OnClick="btnOK_Click" />
<asp:Button id="btnCAN" runat="server" Text="CANCEL" style="width: 80px" OnClick="btnCAN_Click" CausesValidation="False" />
</div>
</asp:Panel>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
As you may see, the btnDUM control is a Dummy to get the MPE to work, but it's not actually used as it's hidden by the style="display:none" tag.
However, the btnADD does work because it calls a Click() method on the server side which does the refresh of data on your new row. You may have to use a little jScript to pass the ROWINDEX into the Click() method for it to work with a GridView.
Incidentally, the Click() method in my case "controls" the MPE manually...
protected void btnADD_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ClearADDform();
mpeADD.Show();
}
protected void ClearADDform()
{
txtLOGIN.Text = string.Empty;
cbISActive.Checked = true;
txtPWD.Text = string.Empty;
ddlAgent.SelectedIndex = -1;
}
In my case, the above code example is outside a GridView, so you'll need to adjust.
But the point is, you can still have Server Side calls using Ajax popups!
Good luck.
I have successfully added controls to pop up, like many check boxes ... now on check box checked event I want to show another check boxes on same popup. how can I do that plz can any one help me?
Make sure autopostback is true and wrap them in an updatepanel inside of the modal. Now you will be able to show/hide whatever you want on postback without the modal closing.
Do you want to just display check boxes(that's hidden) on checked event of other checkbox? You can attach javascript function to onClick event of check box and you can set visibility of other check boxes.
If you want to handle that in server side, you need to set autopostback to true and specify OnCheckedChanged event.
<asp:CheckBox AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" ID="chk1" OnCheckedChanged="chk1_OnCheckedChanged" />
protected void chk1_OnCheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
And put the modal popup control inside the update panel.
<ajaxtoolkit:modalpopupextender runat="server" ID="mpe"
BehaviorID="mpe_ID" PopupControlID="pnlModalPopup"
TargetControlID="btnSomething" CancelControlID="lnkUploadSongListOverlayClose"
DropShadow="false" />
<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="pnlModalPopup" CssClass="modal">
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="updatePanel">
<ContentTemplate>
<!-- modal popup control -->
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</asp:Panel>
Here are the steps:
1- Set autopost back for the checkbox to true
2- Double click on the checkbox and on the checkbox1_OnCheckedChanged
if(checkbox1.Checked==true){Modalpopupextender.show();}
I am having an issue when a page contains multiple ModalPopups each containing a ValidationSummary Control.
Here is the functionality I need:
A user clicks a button and a Modal Popup appears with dynamic content based on the button that was clicked. (This functionality is working. Buttons are wrapped in UpdatePanels and the partial page postback calls .Show() on the ModalPopup)
"Save" button in ModalPopup causes client side validation, then causes a full page postback so the entire ModalPopup disappears. (ModalPopup could disappear another way - the ModalPopup just needs to disappear after a successful save operation)
If errors occur in the codebehind during Save operation, messages are added to the ValidationSummary (contained within the ModalPopup) and the ModalPopup is displayed again.
When the ValidationSummary's are added to the PopupPanel's, the ModalPopups no longer display correctly after a full page postback caused by the "Save" button within the second PopupPanel. (the first panel continues to function correctly) Both PopupPanels are displayed, and neither is "Popped-Up", they are displayed in-line.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
EDIT: Functionality in each Popup is different - that is why there must be two different ModalPopups.
EDIT 2: Javascript error I was receiving:
function () {
Array.remove(Page_ValidationSummaries, document.getElementById(VALIDATION_SUMMARY_ID));
}
(function () {
var fn = function () {
AjaxControlToolkit.ModalPopupBehavior.invokeViaServer("MODAL_POPUP_ID", true);
Sys.Application.remove_load(fn);
};
Sys.Application.add_load(fn);
}) is not a function

This is an issue with using both ValidationSummary and ModalPopup.
see here: http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=12835
The problem is that there is a missing ";" between the two injected scripts.
Their solution is to create/use a custom server control that inherits from ValidationSummary, that injects a ";" into the page startup script to fix the bug:
[ToolboxData("")]
public class AjaxValidationSummary : ValidationSummary
{
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreRender(e);
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.Page.GetType(), this.ClientID, ";", true);
}
}
Put all the <asp:ValidationSummary controls at the end of the document.
Error will be resolved.
Did you seto a different "ValidationGroup" of each popup (ValidationSummary + validators) ?
it seems there is bug in modal pop extender with validation summary in panel. to avoid the scenario always put the validation summary modal popup extender and panel at the bottom of code.
add the respective code at bottom of page
<%--This button causes validation and a full-page post back. Full page postback will causes the ModalPopup to be Hid.
If there are errors in code behind, the code behind will add a message to the ValidationSummary,
and make the ModalPopup visible again--%>
