Custom Toolbar Button Not Working Properly

[Redmond Rinehart]

I am trying to add a button to the RadFileExplorer's Toolbar that will allow a user to rename a file (but will run custom programming in the code-behind), and I added the button to the Toolbar as follows:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        AddHandler rfeDocuments.ToolBar.ButtonClick, AddressOf toolBar_ButtonClick
        Dim customButton As New RadToolBarButton()
        customButton.CssClass = "test_button"
        customButton.CommandName = "Rename"
        customButton.Value = "TEST"
        customButton.Text = "Rename"
        rfeDocuments.ToolBar.Items.Add(customButton)
End Sub

This makes the button display in the toolbar properly.  I then try to capture the Click event using the following code:

    Protected Sub toolBar_ButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolBarEventArgs)
        Label1.Text = e.Item.Value
    End Sub

When I click my Rename button, the Label says "Delete".  When I click the Refresh or Open buttons, the label displays the correct Value.  I have also tried capturing the Text of e.Item and that has not worked either, it comes back as  .  Do you have any examples of a fully functioning custom button working on the RadFileExplorer.Toolbar with the Click event being handled?  My goal is to prompt the user for the new filename then create a copy of the selected file with the new name.

Hi Redmond,

In your case you need to use client-side and server-side code in order to implement the desired behavior.
I believe that these links will be of help :
