Hooking the Expand/Collapse event.

Is there a way (either server-side, or preferably client-side) to hook the the expand/collapse event of dock object?  I want to save it's expanded/collapsed state in the user's profile in ASP.NET 2.0. 

Thanks.

Hello Chris,

You must add the Collapse and Expand commands. After that, you must set their  AutoPostBack property to true.


Also you must add a handler in code behind to the RadDockableObject  (OnCommand="RadDockableObject1_Command)

and do something in code behind:

Hello,

As you might have noticed, I've been working with the Docking stuff this weekend.  Cool stuff, by the way!

Is there a way to do a Client-Side event here?

When a user makes a change to the layout of their page, I'm making a link to save their changes visible (which was, of course, previously hidden).  I'd like to make this link available for when someone expands or collapses a window, too.  I don't want to do a postback.

I can probably just make this link always visible, and I might go that route, but I'd like to see if this is possible, first.

Thanks.

Hi Barry,

You must add onclientcommand="showlink" to expand and Collapse commands:
  <radDk:RadDockableObjectCommand  Name="Collapse"  ToolTip="Collapse" onclientcommand="showLink"/> where showlink function will show the link using javascript.
A simple example using custom commands and handling client side events, you can find at:

If you are having issues with the EventArgs e, cast it to its correct type:
