Dynamic Link on AdvancedForm

[SSirica]

It's been a long road but I've been able to manipulate most of the controls on the AdvancedForm, but now I would either like to make one of the RadTextBox have a button and have it act like a hyperlink and redirect to another form or add a hyperlink control to the AdvancedForm.  I tried

 

Dim txtActTickID As Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox = DirectCast(e.Container.FindControl("AttrAction Ticket"), Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox)
txtActTickID.ReadOnly = True
txtActTickID.BackColor = Drawing.Color.LightGray
txtActTickID.ShowButton = True
txtActTickID.ClientEvents.OnButtonClick = "ShowAT(" & txtActTickID.Text & ")"

That was executing every time I tried to edit an appointment.  I also tried

Dim objHL As New HyperLink
objHL.NavigateUrl = "TestForm.aspx"
objHL.Text = "Show Test Form"
e.Container.Controls.Add(objHL)

but the control never showed up?  Any ideas?

Hello SSirica,

To be able to create a new control in the Advanced Form like the hyperlink, you'll need to customize the Advanced Form. Please take a look at the following resources how:

 Advanced Templates - Demo

 Customize the Advanced Template - Help article

Feel free to ask me if you have further questions.

Thanks but due to the complexities in including this functionality I just decided to scrap it.  I was trying to get this done without having to deal with the AdvancedForm.ascx.

Hello SSirica,

Please take a look at the attached .zip file. I've added 3 custom attributes and RequiredFieldValidators for the TextBoxes which represents the custom attributes. You can follow the example to solve your case. There is no other way to accomplish your requirements.
