StopProcessing functionality for "User Control" webpart

Hi

The "User Control" web part allows you to use a standard ASCX UserControl that may require particular lifecycle events to be properly executed (as opposed to a regular CMSAbstractWebPart control which may not load with the normal control lifecycle).

Is there a way to expose the CMSAbstractWebPart's StopProcessing property/functionality to a UserControl loaded in the "User Control" web part?

Thanks!

I don't believe you can access that from within your custom control.

What you could do is create a simple webpart and dynamically load your custom control in code behind (pretty much copy and paste code for the user control webpart) and get at the StopProcessing property there.

Have you looked into just converting it to a webpart?

RE:StopProcessing functionality for "User Control" webpart

This is actually an issue we previously found specifically with Telerik's RadGrid and sorting - if it's implemented as a WebPart, it does not sort properly. We believe this is because the control's lifecycle isn't happening the same way a normal control would. I haven't tried finding a workaround since discovering the User Control webpart worked.

I'll give your suggestion a try though, thanks!

Or, you can try using the ControlsHelper class and use the get parent control method and use the stop processing method from it. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus
