    PROJECT DESCRIPTION
    Unlike the standard confim(), radconfirm() cannot block the execution of the thread (this is something that cannot be done with Javascript) and a CallBackFunction is needed.

    The attached project demonstrates a real-life scenario where when clicking one of RadToolbar's buttons we want to ask a confirmation from the user before performing the postback. RadWindowManager and RadToolbar are wrapped in RadAjaxPanel to avoid full page's postback.

    The implementation of such scenario is relatively simple - when the user clicks on the button, we need to make a check what button is clicked and if it is the one which requires confirmation - cancel the postback and call radconfirm().
    Once the user confirms the postback, in the radconfirm's CallBackFunction we will use  __doPostBack to send the information on the server:

    <script type="text/javascript">  
        <%= RadToolbar1.ClientID %>.attachEvent("OnClientClick","Toolbar_ClientClick");  
                              
        function Toolbar_ClientClick(sender, e)  
        {  
            if (sender.CommandName == "Delete")  
            {  
                radconfirm("Delete?", CallBackFn);   
                return false;  
            }  
            else 
            {  
                return true;  
            }  
        }          
     
        function CallBackFn(arg)  
            {  
                if(arg)  
                    {  
                        __doPostBack("<%= RadToolbar1.UniqueID %>", "onclick#Delete");  
                    }  
            }  
    </script> 


    in  __doPostBack we are provide the following arguments:
    1. The UniqueID of the RadToolbar - this will allow us to reference the toolbar even if a MasterPage is used
    2. The RadToolBar command that we want to be executed.

    And in the codebehind:

    protected void RadToolbar1_OnClick(object sender, Telerik.WebControls.RadToolbarClickEventArgs e)  
    {  
        Message.Text = "You clicked " +  e.Button.CommandName + " " + DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");  
    }

    For now, if you cannot get the radconfirm() working and want to use a regular confirm instead.. please see the code below. (until I figure out why the radconfigm is not showing)
    My situation is the following:
    1: User clicked a button Button1
    2: The Button1 event calls a web service which can either complete the processing or return an indication that the user needs to first make a decision based on the backend business rules.
    3: If the user clicks Yes, I initiate a PostBack via java script to call a different method Button2 event.

    If you have a master page, you can create an abstract base class which your MasterPage can extend and in your base class create the Confirm function as follows:

    =============Base Class===============
    /// <summary> 
            ///  
            /// </summary> 
            /// <param name="url"></param>

            { 
              //  string s = String.Format("<script>confirm('{0}');</script>", confirmMessage); 
              //  string scp = "<script>radconfirm('Called From Master Page?', CallBackFn);</script>"; 
              //  string pb = String.Format("<script>__doPostBack('{0}', 'onclick');</script>", callbackYes.UniqueID); 
                string pbbtn = String.Format("__doPostBack('{0}', 'onclick');", callbackYes.UniqueID); 
                string pbbtnCancel = String.Format("__doPostBack('{0}', 'onclick');", callBackCancel.UniqueID); 
                string confPB = String.Format("<script>if(confirm('{0}'))", confirmMessage) 
                                 + " { " 
                                 + pbbtn 
                                + "}" 
                                + "else {" 
                                + pbbtnCancel

                                + "</script>"; 
     
                this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "__Confirm1", confPB); 
            } 
     
            /// <summary>

    This is awesome thanks for posting it. I'm implementing it and I'm getting an error in the __doPostBack : "Input string was not in a correct format."

    So basically the Confirmation window shows up corrently.
    If i click cancel nothing happens (that's good)
    If I click OK, the pages does a postback and I get that error.

    So this is failing: __doPostBack("<%= MyRequestMenu.UniqueID %>", "onclick#Check In Metadata");
    I'm thinking is the parameters where I specify the command.

    Any ideas?

    Hello Karla,

    This is quite an old sample prject and it is likely that the controls have changed since then.
    What I can suggest is the following:

    - examine this demo on the way to integrate a RadConfirm, to see how to initially cancel, and then finish the JS task: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/confirmserverclicks/defaultcs.aspx. Examine its description and code carefully to see the logic. You can raise a flag whether the action ws confirmed and click() the current button via the RadToolBar API: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/toolbar-client-side-basics.html.

    - OR, store the command name in a hidden field instead of using the RadToolBar as an initiator. You can invoke a simple postback and check for the hidden field value in the Page_Load event to do the needed work.

      I used the Radconfirm at client side  while changing the  Page index  in batchEditing
                function ChangingthePageNo(sender, args) {
                    if (sender.get_batchEditingManager().hasChanges(sender.get_masterTableView())) {
                        var UpdatePanelCallbackFn = Function.createDelegate(sender, function (btnYesNo) {
                            if (btnYesNo) {
                                sender.get_batchEditingManager().saveChanges(sender.get_masterTableView());
                                args.set_cancel(true);
                            }
                            else {
                                args.set_cancel(true);
                            }
                        });
                        radconfirm("Are you sure want to save the  data to move next page?", UpdatePanelCallbackFn, 400, 180, null, "Confirm");
                        args.set_cancel(true);
                    }
                }
