UpdateProgress Problem

I'd like to show the update progress template in the center of div, which content is updated with update panel. I tried to do it with z-index.. but it works only with absolute positioning so it can be centered only in the whole browser window. What should i do to make it work in the right way? =)

Here is a simple illustration of the feature i need

*****************Update Panel*************

* Loading... *

I have anarticle on creating a modal UpdateProgress. It uses absolute positioning, but you can use relative positioning to position the message within your container. There is ademo available as well... you can use Firebug to mess around a bit with the styles in real-time (just disable the visible=hidden style on the UpdateProgress' main DIV).

Hope this helps.

Everything work nice when we use absolute positioning.. but with realtive positioning z-index doesn't work so i failed to put it to foreground.

According tohttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533005.aspx

It is quite possible that relatively positioned elements will overlap with other objects and elements on the page. As with absolute positioning, you can use the z-index attribute to set thez-index of the positioned element relative to other elements that might occupy the same area. By default, a positioned element always has a higher z-coordinate than its parent element so that it will always be on top of its parent element.

I also messed around with the styles on the sample I sent you using FireBug and verified that I was able to set the z-index on a relative positioned element. For example:

#processMessage {

background-color:#FFFFFF;

border:1px solid #000000;

left:43%;

padding:10px;

position:relative;

top:-300px;

width:14%;

z-index:1001;

}

UpdateProgress Template and the Control Toolkit

I have an

atlas:UpdateProgress Template on the same page as some cascading drop downs. I have put in a large (5 seconds) delay on the webservice populating the dropdowns but still don't see the ProgressTemplate.

Does the UpdateProgress Template work with the control toolkit or is it just for UpdatePanels?

The Toolkit controls do not natively work with Atlas's UpdateProgress control. I looked into this briefly just now and it doesn't seem like the UpdateProgress control can be used in this way. Rather, it seems to tie itself directly to the "in postback" status of the relevant page. Since there are no postbacks in the CascadingDropDown scenario, UpdateProgress doesn't seem relevant. Sorry about that!

Updating atlas and toolkit

If you already have atlas installed and created a new application via the atlas template in visual studio and are using the atlas "controls" how do you do upgrades when new releases of atlas or the controls come out? Will the new setup files update your system (templates,controls and apps) or is there something else that you will have to do?

You'll just need to copy over the Atlas assemblies in your \bin directory, and potentially update the Atlas settings in the web.config file.

Hope this helps,

Updating from a template control

Hello,

I'm having an issue getting a Label inside of an UpdatePanel to change when a button in a GridView PagerTemplate is clicked. I have a label that I am showing the Page X of Y count. I have defined the First, Next, Previous and Last commands as Buttons in the PagerTemplate. The problem is that when I click the button, in the code behind I am setting the Text of the label, but it is not changing on the page. I cannot register the button in the UpdatePanel Triggers, because it is in the PagerTemplate. How can I make the label update from the button?

Thanks,

Nick

If I set up a Trigger on the gridview's databound event, will this cause the label to update?

Thanks,

Nick

You don't need to go that way.

Just do ScriptManager.GetCurrent( this.Page ).RegisterAsyncPostBackControl( control );

You have to do this on each post though. (ItemCreated will get fired each post)

Would this be done in the Pages Load event, or the button's click event?

Thanks,

Nick

Subscribe to the ItemCreated event in your grid and do it on all the rows. (e.Item).

Use AJAX Extension without using the ASP.Net AJAX Enables Web Site Template

I'm developing a web app using a CMS and I want to use the ASP.Net AJAX Extension. Since I'm using a CMS, I cannot use the VS template.

I tried referencing the DLLs but I'm getting a 'Sys' is undefined javascript error.

Hi ubelt,

If you are not using a template, you will have to manually update your web.config file with all the setting required for AJAX, that's why you are getting this error.
In the documentation you can find exactly how to do it.

Hope this helps,

Juan
