Telerik RadTreeViews Ajax Timeout - How to test for timeout - ajax

I have an Ajaxed RadTreeiew. When its nodes are clicked the information area is populated from the database. However, if ajax has timed out, clicking the nodes will just show nothing in the information area.
I've tried increasing the AsyncPostBackTimeout in the script manager but with no luck. Also tried telerik support.
What i need is to be able to test for the ajax timeout on each node click and if timed out then redirect back to the same page, to refresh it.
Treenode click event below...
Public Sub RTV1_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RadTreeNodeEventArgs) Handles RTV1.NodeClick
'session timeoutcheck
If Session(courseID & "-MyTreeView") = Nothing Then
Session(courseID & "-SiteconID") = 0
Response.Redirect(Request.Url.ToString)
End If
'This is a tree node click so set the TabID session to 0
Session(courseID & "-TabID") = 0
'expand child nodes here
e.Node.ExpandParentNodes()
e.Node.Expanded = True
e.Node.Selected = True
'setup the content
SetUpContent(e.Node.Value, courseID)
End Sub

vb2013 exit from local sub closes form

I have a local sub that allows the user to move a row of a datagridview, triggered by a button click. The sub works fine in debugger but when it exits control is transfered to the calling form, i.e. the current form is closed. This also happens when no row is moved, i.e. when one of the abort conditions on entrance are met. Simply: exiting this sub will close the form!?!
Private Sub btnMove_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnMove.Click
Dim rowToGo As DataGridViewRow
Dim rtgIndex As Integer = 0
If (dgvAuftrag.RowCount <= 1) or (dgvAuftrag.CurrentRow Is Nothing) Then
Beep()
Exit Sub
End If
rowToGo = dgvAuftrag.CurrentRow
rtgIndex = rowToGo.Index + 1
If (rtgIndex >= dgvAuftrag.RowCount) Then rtgIndex = 0
Try
dgvAuftrag.Rows.Remove(rowToGo)
dgvAuftrag.Rows.Insert(rtgIndex, rowToGo)
Catch ex As Exception
IssueErrorMessage(ex)
End Try
End Sub
All other local subs and functions work normal, just this one behaves strange. Any ideas how to fix/avoid this bug?
This is not a solution of the problem but a functioning workaround based on the sugestion of Hans. I have introduced a global boolean var named OKtoExit which is intialized to false.
private OKtoExit as boolean = false
Then I have a new FormClose event handler that checks that var. If OKtoExit is false then e.Cancel = true and the handler exits. The regular Exit functions (Save and Quit) set OKtoExit to true, any other code leaves the values unchanged.
Private Sub Current_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
If Not exitOK Then
e.Cancel = True
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
As I said, this is just a workaround that has the same effect as a normal functioning VB-Code. I would appreciate if somebody could present a real solution!
After many months I discovered the true reason for the problem and I must give all credits to Hans Passant: I had a button on one of the first forms that had the Dialog Result property set to Cancel. This was a really beautyful button so many other buttons in the appliaction were a copy of this first button where I just modified the label. Thus they all led to the unwanted behavior that a form was closed as soon as a user clicked one of them no matter what the label said... After months I discovered that just by chance. Thanks to Hans again, I obviously overlooked his last hint "And look at the button's DialogResult property."!

Excel UserForm button click slow response time when clicked fast

I have a VBA UserForm in Excel, with very simple code. It displays a collection (a dictionary, actually) of objects, one at a time, with buttons for "first, previous, next, and last". Everything works great, but if I were to continually click the next button to go through the items, I have to click it slowly (roughly once a second). If I click any faster, the click is ignored. For example, if I click four times over two seconds, it will only 'register' the first and third click and advance twice, instead of four times.
Below is example code for the 'next' button (and the other applicable pieces of code in the userform module):
Private dQIDs As Dictionary
Public Sub TransferQIDs(ByVal dIncomingQIDs As Dictionary)
Set dQIDs = dIncomingQIDs
End Sub
Private Sub bNext_Click()
Call LoadQID(CLng(lIndex.Caption) + 1)
End Sub
Private Sub LoadQID(lQID As Long)
Dim QID As cQID
Set QID = dQIDs(lQID)
lIndex.Caption = lQID
lItems.Caption = "Viewing new QID " & lQID & " of " & dQIDs.Count
Me.tQID = QID.lQID
Me.tTitle = QID.sTitle
Me.tVID = QID.sVendorID
Me.bOS = QID.bOSPatch
Me.bApp = Not QID.bOSPatch
Me.bPrev.Enabled = Not (lQID = 1)
Me.bFirst.Enabled = Not (lQID = 1)
Me.bNext.Enabled = Not (lQID = dQIDs.Count)
Me.bLast.Enabled = Not (lQID = dQIDs.Count)
End Sub
Any ideas?
Personally I would just disable to button while content is loaded.
Private Sub bNext_Click()
Dim b1 As Button
Set b1 = ActiveSheet.Buttons("LoadQID")
REM or Me.LoadQID
b1.Font.ColorIndex = 15
b1.Enabled = False
Application.Cursor = xlWait
Call LoadQID(CLng(lIndex.Caption) + 1)
b1.Enabled = True
b1.Font.ColorIndex = 1
Application.Cursor = xlDefault
End Sub
Reason why this happens is that accessing a single object takes quite a bit of time in Excel. This way if you can click it will be registered.
Alternatively you can toggle UI update with:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
windows is checking for a doubleclick. so if you click fast it registers a doubleclick.
2 options. increase you doubleclick speed in the windows mouse settings
or make a doubleclick event

vb6: click button on HTMLDocument by code and wait for page to be loaded

i'm using the mshtml.tlb for loading/parsing html and i'd like extend it for clicking elements by code. the problem is trapping the loading-process after eg. a button was clicked.
in my specific case i'd like to perform a user-login.
here's my code:
Dim WithEvents m_doc As HTMLDocument
' load page
Set m_docNU = New HTMLDocument
Set m_doc = m_docNU.createDocumentFromUrl(m_url, vbNullString)
Do While m_doc.readyState = "loading" Or m_doc.readyState = "interactive"
DoEvents
Loop
set txtUsername = m_doc.getElementById("username")
set txtPasswort = m_doc.getElementById("passwort")
set myButton = m_doc.getElementById("submit")
myButton.click
now here's the big question mark: how to continue vb6- like "wait until page is loaded"?
i've tried as above using a do while-loop and checking the readyState, but for some reason the readyState doesn't change after clicking the button ..
any ideas?
thanks
ps: is there a more elegant way instead of the do while-loop? eg. using a progressbar?
use vb.net
wBrowser is a webbroser object
While wBrowser.ReadyState <> WebBrowserReadyState.Complete
Application.DoEvents()
End While

Dynamically created LinkButton not firing any events

I'm customising the Group Headers on a Telerik RadGrid by injecting a LinkButton into it during the ItemDataBound event. The button renders perfectly, but I can't get it to hit any event handlers.
Here is the code for the button creation:
Private Sub rgWorkRequestItemCosts_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles rgWorkRequestItemCosts.ItemDataBound
If TypeOf e.Item Is GridGroupHeaderItem Then
Dim oItem As GridGroupHeaderItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridGroupHeaderItem)
Dim lnkAdd As New LinkButton()
lnkAdd.ID = "lnkAdd"
lnkAdd.CommandName = "CustomAddWorkRequestItemCost"
lnkAdd.CommandArgument = DirectCast(oItem.DataItem, DataRowView).Row("nWorkRequestItemID").ToString()
lnkAdd.Text = String.Format("<img style=""border:0px"" alt="""" width=""12"" src=""{0}"" /> Add new cost", ResolveUrl(String.Format("~/App_Themes/{0}/Grid/AddRecord.gif", Page.Theme)))
lnkAdd.Style("color") = "#000000"
lnkAdd.Style("text-decoration") = "none"
AddHandler lnkAdd.Click, AddressOf lnkAdd_Click
Dim tcPlaceholder As GridTableCell = DirectCast(oItem.Controls(1), GridTableCell)
Dim litText As New LiteralControl(String.Format(" {0}", tcPlaceholder.Text))
tcPlaceholder.Text = String.Empty
tcPlaceholder.Controls.Add(lnkAdd)
tcPlaceholder.Controls.Add(litText)
End If
End Sub
This code explicitly adds a handler for the LinkButton, but that handler is never hit. I've also tried events on the RadGrid (ItemCommand, ItemEvent) but none seem to get hit.
Has anyone got any suggestions of other events to try, or ways to make this work?
Thanks!
I wasn't able to find a "nice" solution to this. In the end I did the following:
Created the button in the
ItemCreated event handler, setting
its CommandArgument to a counter
which was incremented for every
group header created
Again created the button in the
ItemDataBound event, again settings
its CommandArgument to the counter
value. At this point I added a
record to a dictionary object
(stored in ViewState) linking the
counter to the actual value of the
group.
Handled the click event of the
button, extracting the group value
from the dictionary in viewstate to
complete the processing.
Ugly, but it works.

Excel VBA - Pause Events while Updating ComboBox

I have an application written in VBA for Excel that takes in a live data feed. Whenever there is a change in the data, various events are triggered within VBA.
I also have some UserForms with ComboBoxes on them. My problem is that when I click the down arrow on the ComboBox and try to make a selection, the moment I get an update from the data feed, the ComboBox resets. What I would like to do is pause the events while I am making my selection in the ComboBox and then unpause it when I am done. How do I generate this functionality?
Try this to turn off:
application.enableevents = false
And this to turn back on:
application.enableevents = true
To pause and show a message and to keep working on something during the pause. finally press button
Public Ready As Boolean
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Ready = True
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Show
Ready = False
Call Wait
Label1.Visible = True
End Sub
Public Function Wait()
Do While Ready = False
DoEvents
Loop
End Function
Maybe you can put a flag to bypass the update event on your combobox until a selection is made.
Private bLock as boolean ' declare at module level
' When a user clicks on the combobox
Private Sub DropDownArrow_Click() ' or cboComboBox_Click()
bLocked = True
End Sub
' This procedure is the one that does the updating from the data source.
' If the flag is set, do not touch the comboboxes.
Private Sub subUpdateComboBoxes()
If Not bLocked then
' Update the comboboxes
End If
End Sub
' When the selection is made, or the focus changes from the combobox.
' check if a selection is made and reset the flag.
Private Sub cboComboBox_AfterUpdate() ' Or LostFucus or something else
if Format(cboComboBox.Value) <> vbNullString Then
bLocked = False
End If
End Sub
Hope that helps.
