Updating a FreeTextBox within an UpdatePanel

Hello everybody,

I'm working on a translation interface for a multilingual intranet. This leads me to use Rich TextBoxes such as FreeTextBox.

It is well known that there are issues about it when used with ajax.net, but I tried...

My issue:

I've got a page with three imbricated updatePanels. UpdatePanel1 contains both of the other update panels.

When updating these controls, I want a freeTextBox to get a text to translate.

But, not only does the FreeTextBox refuses to get the text, it also generates javascript errors that prevent me from openning an ajax modal popup.

I've tried to replace Freetextboxes by simple asp textboxes and this works fine... excepted as regards the fact that i can see all the html, and cannot put my text in form...

Coulds give me a hint to solve this? Do you know another rich text box with which i would have this issue?

Thanx a lot.

DART did the same thing, TinyMCE too... The only richTextBox I have tested which works is CuteEditor.

From what I've read, the issue comes from the focus on the textbox.

So no soultion for the moment.

Hi, I think I had the opposite problem to you. I could get the text by using .Text property but I couldn't set the text byassigning a new value to .Text.

I had to use the following code as a workaround : -

Private Sub SetEnoteText(ByVal strNotesAs String)Dim strScriptAs String =String.Format( _"$get('ctl00_maincontentarea_HeaderTabs_eNoteTab_eNoteText').value = '{0}';", _ strNotes.Replace(vbLf, "").Replace(vbCr, "")) strScript += "ctl00_maincontentarea_HeaderTabs_eNoteTab_eNoteText_Initialize(ctl00_maincontentarea_HeaderTabs_eNoteTab_eNoteText_editor, $get('ctl00_maincontentarea_HeaderTabs_eNoteTab_eNoteText'));" ScriptManager1.RegisterStartupScript(Me,Me.GetType(),"SETNOTE", strScript,True)End Sub

'ctl00_maincontentarea_HeaderTabs_eNoteTab_eNoteText' Being the ID of the FreeTextBox.

Updating Controls in a ModalPopup Possible?

Hello,

I am trying to use a modalpopup as a login prompt.

I've been able to put a couple textboxes in the modal, take input from those textboxes, and log a user in and redirect them or do whatever I would like. The problem I am having is when a user types in a wrong password, I need to display a "Invalid Password" lable to the user, hopefully in the modalpopup window.

The way I am validating a user is an XML call back to a third party server with custom software.

I havent tried to write a providor yet to use the .NET login things.

So my question boils down to, Can controls in an update panel be updated upon an OK click.

Thanks!

Yes, it's possible. Though currently it will require a "work around". It will also require the reworked ModalPopupExtender that I know you are familiar with. There's a link in my sig.

First you need to do is create "fake buttons" for the OkControl and CancelControl property of the modalpopupextender. These buttons need to present at all times during your login routine, so place them at the very end of your popup panel. Also set them with a css style of display:none; The button controls visible property must be set to true.
Sean,

I will give this a try this tommarow when I'm back at the office.
I want to let you know that the Re-Worked ModalPopup is really good. It has solved quite a few problems.

Seeing as you seem so good with this stuff, thought I would ask a more diffucult question dealing with the modal popup.
I am using a modal in a gridview to display product information. To get the product information, I am using a web serivce (amazon webservice to be exact). On the click of the linkbutton on the gridview, I have the webservice kicked in to get the information, and sometimes it takes anywhere from 2 - 4 seconds to get the information about the product. I am using the onrowbound event to add attribs to the linkbutton for a window.timeout($object('modal')._show), 2000) or something like that to open the modal about 2 seconds after the linkbutton is clicked.
this works when the webservice returns the information before 2 seconds. If the request takes more than 2 seconds, the modal opens up, the request finishes, and the modal closes by itself. I have this modal setup with an update panel inside the modal, but currently, the update panel has the ok, cancel buttons included in it. I'll give it a try tommarow with those buttons outside of the update panel.
Anyways, seeing as you know more about all of this than me, I thought I would ask you :P
thanks for all your help

Hey Sean,

I got the login modal to update labels within it self doing just like you described.

However, I've ran into some minor problems that I thought I would see if you maybe have already solved.

1. How would I make a textbox get focus when the modal pops up?

2. How can I make the button the default button so when the user hits enter, it hits that button, and not a button on the page it self. Right now, if I hit enter, it fires an event tied to a button on the main page. if the main page does not have a button, then hitting enter works fine.

Any suggestions?

thanks for all the help, once again!

Urgent Help: Update Panel and Form Templates? - Need to finish this week ends.

Hello

I am new to ASP .NET so just wanted to confirm.

I actually tried a lot in regular asp .net website to update my textboxes when selecting a value from dropdown list.

but no luck.

so is update panel better in these cases. and does this work without having to code..

because i have two weeks left to this one page. and i was stuck on updating values of text boxes, checkboxes fields when updating ddl. i have ddl inside the formview template.

so when using update pannel: ddl will be outside the formview template??

how does it work basically??

please help asap.

thanks a lot all.

looking forward for reply.

surbhi

Have you use the OnSelectedIndexChanged event of the DDL yet ? Make sure you set the DDL AutoPostBack = true

No. I dont know how to use that event.

I am new and using VB for coding ..

Dont know how to use C#..

How do i use findcontrol statements in vb?

help asap. i have to finish it this week..

Thanks

Surbhi

You would probably benefit the most by looking at tutorials online then waiting for people to reply. Questions about events and c# or vb.net syntax can easily be answered by searching.

Well.. Ofcourse I have been looking online as well.

Not finding enough information on how to use this event..

Meanwhile here is my vb code for ItemUpdating event..

I dont know where I am making mistake. Correct me.. and I am using Formview, Sql DataSource.

and DropDownList which has project numbers. I just want to display new values when I select a different value in DDL. I have AutoPostBack=true and AppendDataBound =True..

Here is the code:

Private

Sub FormView1_ItemUpdating(ByVal senderAs Object,ByVal eAs FormViewUpdateEventArgs)'Dim ProjectNameTextBox As TextBox = FindControl("ProjectName")'Dim FormView1 As FormView = CType(sender, FormView)Dim rowViewAs DataRowView = CType(FormView1.DataItem, DataRowView)Dim rowAs FormViewRow = FormView1.RowDim ProjectNameTextBoxAs TextBox = CType(row.FindControl("ProjectName"), TextBox)

e.NewValues(

"ProjectName") = CType(row.FindControl("ProjectName"), TextBox)

ProjectNameTextBox.Text = rowView(

"ProjectName").ToString()

end sub
