Enabling AJAX ComboBox ?

[paper67]

Hi, I gave the follow code snippet :

<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<div>
    <asp:ComboBox ID="ComboBox1" runat="server">
        <asp:ListItem Text="Item1" Selected="True" />
        <asp:ListItem Text="Item2" />
        <asp:ListItem Text="Item3" />
        <asp:ListItem Text="Item4" />
    </asp:ComboBox><br /><br />
    <asp:Button ID="EnableButton" runat="server" Text="Enable" 
        onclick="EnableButton\_Click" />&nbsp
    <asp:Button ID="DisableButton" runat="server" Text="Disable" 
        onclick="DisableButton\_Click" />

With code behind : protected void EnableButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ComboBox1.Enabled = true; } protected void DisableButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ComboBox1.Enabled = false; } Why do I have to press the "Enable" button twice to enable a disabled ComboBox ? How can I solve the problem ? tia

You don't have an ajax combobox. Just by placing a scriptmanager on the page does not automagically make it ajax. Enabling and disabling controls can easily be accomplished on the client-side with javascript.

This is because you are not using an UpdatePanel. add an UpdatePanel on the page and put everything inside except ScirptManager . and it will work. and also use the scriptmanager instead of toolkitscriptmanager. if you want to do this without AJAX for testing then add Response.Redirect("~\ThisPage.aspx"); after you set the combobox enable true or false, and you dont have to click twice to enable or disable it.
