FileExplorer File Selector Dialog usercontrol issue

[James Blair]

Hi, i am trying to use the file explorer on a page which has a master page of which the controls (text boxes) on the pages are genarated from a usercontrol, i'm trying to have two text boxes which both link to the file explorer using the file seletor dialog demo http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer/examples/fileselectordialog/defaultcs.aspx, everything seems to work apart from when i click the files on file explorer the window shuts but my file paths are not transfered to the text boxes , below is the code that is genarated from one of the usercontrols on the page which look like its passing the corrent name of the control but i'm not sure if i am mising something? any help would be great

renderd usercontrol
<input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder3$HomeBannerZone2$TXBHeadingLink" type="text" value="some text" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_HomeBannerZone2_TXBHeadingLink" style="width:500px;" />

Renderd Java
  function OnFileSelected(wnd, fileSelected)
        {
            var textbox = $get("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_HomeBannerZone2_TXBHeadingLink");
            textbox.value = fileSelected;
        }

I've now got the control kind of working, as said i have two users controls on the one page and each user control is displaying the java for each control using the java below

 

//This function is called from the Explorer.aspx page

 

 

function OnFileSelected(wnd, fileSelected)

 

{

 

var textbox = $get("<%= TXBbackgroundImage.ClientID %>");

 

textbox.value = fileSelected;

 

 

}

1.
  //This function is called from the Explorer.aspx page
        function OnFileSelected(wnd, fileSelected)
        {
            var textbox = $get("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_HomeBannerZone1_TXBbackgroundImage");
            textbox.value = fileSelected;
           
            
        }
2.
   function OnFileSelected(wnd, fileSelected)
        {
            var textbox = $get("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_HomeBannerZone2_TXBbackgroundImage");
            textbox.value = fileSelected;
           
            
        }


so when i try to use the file explorer from one text box the control uses the frist java is see's and only sets the text  on the last usercontrol.

Hi James,

This is a common behavior in user control scenarios and it is not related to our controls. In your case, however, if you open a new support ticket and send me your project, I will rework it to work correctly.

Hi Manage to do a work around

Added a attribute to each usercontrols addded on the page

 

selectFile.Attributes.Add(

"onclick", "OpenFileExplorerDialog2(" & TypeID & "); return false;")

 

 

passed this into a control on the main page to set the value of the seleted box when seleted

function

 

OpenFileExplorerDialog2(a)

 

{

document.getElementById(

"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_Label1").innerText=a;

 

 

var textbox = $get("<%= TXBbackgroundImage.ClientID %>");

 

 

var wnd = $find("<%= ExplorerWindow.ClientID %>");

 

wnd.show();

}


update the text box on the returned call#

 

 

function OnFileSelected(wnd, fileSelected)

 

{

 

 

if (document.getElementById("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_Label1").innerText == 1 )

 

{

document.getElementById(

"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_HomeBannerZone1_TXBbackgroundImage").innerText = fileSelected;

 

}

 

else

 

{

document.getElementById(

"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder3_HomeBannerZone2_TXBbackgroundImage").innerText = fileSelected;

 

}

Thanks
