Atlas with 3rd party controls

Has anyone used 3rd party controls with atlas? For example r.a.d controls. I am using one such control (a tab strip). The situation is that I have a Update Panel on my page with some buttons on it. And I have this r.a.d control outside the update panel (actually doesn't matter if it is in the same update panel as the buttons or not).
What happens is that when I click on any of the buttons, this control loses the style that was applied to it. I try to reapply the style on page load but it doesn't work.
I just thought I should post this here in case someone else has seen this problem.

Thanks

There are a series of known issues rleated to Updatepanel and other controls. It boils down the the current process that UpdatePanel is using to try to provide the correct rendered parts of the page that may result from the postback (async). For example, scripts, styles, hidden form fields, as well as the rendering that occurs in the updatepanel itself.

Also, since UpdatePanel (pageRequestmanager) essentially hooks up and overrides the regular postback emchanism, then custom controls may have attempted similar things which cuases issues.

We are investigating such issues ..

Hi,

I'm also having a similar problem with the R.A.D. treeview (5.21), the style and images get "jacked up" after partial postback. Initially, I thought I could just reset the style and image path in NodeSelected. After debugging, I saw that the image path and the style was correct. So I opened the properties on a tree image that wouldn't render, the URL of the image showed as "javascript:false". After looking at all the images it appears that they each had "javascript:false" as the URL. So it looks like it's something that's happening in rendering.

Telerik will be releasing another service pack on April 27. I have solid doubts about it's reliability. As with their Q1 SP 1, I encountered countless bugs that I could not work around, so I had to drop their "callback" functionality. Additionally, Atlas provides such greater customizable functionality. This style problem is the only issue I've ran into.

Does anybody know of any work-arounds?

Thanks,
Tiffany

Atlas Triggers not quite woring

Hi,

I have got a serious problem with triggers not updating the content of UpdatePanel at appropriate time. Here's the situation:

The master page holds three fieldset elements - each of those is dragable and resizable (YUI library). Inside each of those is an UpdatePanel. Each UpdatePanel holds part of the left side menu, so parts are separately draggable around the UI.
Next, the page that uses this master page further has four (4) more draggable fieldsets with UpdatePanel's inside. Each of these panels holds a part of the final content - drill down. So I need to update each lower UpdatePanel when the upper one changes. Each of the content panels actualy holds a WebUserControl (.ascx) and those all inherit from a base control that defines and fires a common event when something changes. This works. I debugged the event firing and it works just fine. The problem is that when i created Triggers and defined the controls that fire them and the common event nothing really happens. All those UpdatePanel's have their Mode set to Always so they did get updated even before i added triggers with a small problem that they got update after two clicks, thous showing what should have been shown one click back. Triggers actualy made no diference even dough I thought they would.

If anybody has had the same problem and have sessed it please post your solutions. Should the UpdatePanles have their Mode set to Partial in order for triggers to work?Hi LoneTiger,

This forum is specifically devoted to the"Atlas" Control Toolkit. You'll probably get a much better response if you post this question in either the"Atlas" Discussion and Suggestions or the"Atlas" UI forums where theUpdatePanel experts are.

Thanks,
Ted
Thanks Ted. I reposted the question at suggested forum. Is it possible to delete this one?
