Hello.

I have a couple issues.
Please note: The explorer mode is FileTree.

1. I can't delete folders from the tree with the client method deleteItem(path, type) (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radfileexplorer-client-side.html). In my FileBrowserContentProvider method DeleteDirectory receives a wrong path (for example: if I make a call with path "28", I receive "8" in the method; if with path "29", I receive "9"). I temporarily use client method deleteSelectedItems() but

oExplorer = $find(oExplorerID);oExplorer.deleteItem(oExplorer.get_selectedItem().get_path(), oExplorer.get_selectedItem().get_type()); 


don't work.

2. I can't delete files from the file tree. I call deleteSelectedItems() for the file but another method (DeleteDirectory) is called from FileBrowserContentProvider with the parent path of the folder instead of the method DeleteFile. I can't delete files from the file tree without my FileBrowserContentProvider either.

oExplorer = $find(oExplorerID);
oExplorer.deleteSelectedItems(); 


Thanks.

Hi Devman,

I have investigated the described behavior and found that both issues are caused by a bug in RadFileExplorer's deleteItem method. I have logged it in our bug tracking system and we will do our best to fix this problem as soon as possible. For the time being I recommend you use the control in ExplorerMode="Default".

Your Telerik points are updated.

We apologize for the caused inconvenience.

Best wishes,

Hi, Fiko.

I found a couple problems.

1. If I set MultipleSelect false, it doesn't work.
RadFileExplorer1.TreeView.MultipleSelect = false;  

And still, I can select many folders/files.

2. If I move folders/files in tree view, I can't call methods MoveDirectory and MoveFile from my FileBrowserContentProvider.

Also, please let me know: how I can process response (string) from FileBrowserContentProvider. For example: this method CreateDirectory is called, and if the directory already exists (return "Folder already exists.";), and the alert with this text "Folder already exists." is returned and called. If the folder has been created, I return string.Empty. But how can I customize response? (call another client-side function; ResponseScripts, etc.).

FYI,
ExplorerMode="Default" does not work for me in this situation. For now I call AJAX requests directly. I hope my solution is temporary.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Devman,

In reference to your questions:
  • The values of the most properties in the embedded controls in FileExplorer are overridden. In your case you could use this client-side approach instead:
    • Attach a handler to the OnClientLoad event of the RadFileExplorer
    • Implement the handler as follows:
      <script type="text/javascript">
          function OnExplorerLoad(oExplorer, args)
          {
              oExplorer.get_tree().set_multipleSelect(false);
          }
      </script>
      This code will disable multiple selection.
  • This code can be used inside ContentProvider's code in order to get reference to the page that contains the RadFileExplorer cpntrol:
    Page _page = Context.CurrentHandler as Page;

    Then you could use one of the approaches in order to execute JavaScript method. For example :
    _page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(_page.GetType(), "Key", "alert('Message from content provider');", true);

I hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,
Fiko
