Grid button to open popup qs....

[Terry]

I'm looking to open a popup from a button on a grid row.

The purpose is not really to edit the row data but rather to take the row id (in this case company id) and load a modal with some dropdowns (for selecting/assigning users) and assign those to the company id passed into the modal view.

Is this kind of thing possible? If so, how might I go about starting to implement it?

Can I do it by opening a popup that contains a partialview?

Thanks.

Hello Terry,

For achieving the desired result you could use a custom command as in the following online demo, where a Window widget is opened when the custom command is clicked:

• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/custom-command

In the demo you will see how you could get reference to the dataItem within the event from which you can retrieve the id value. 

As for loading a View in the Window, you could refer to the following examples:

• http://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/helpers/window/using-forms-in-window 
• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/window/ajax

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I managed to achieve this myself using kendo window for the modal. All works well except for one issue - which Ive raised as a question here : Modal overlay issue

Basically when clicking the x to close the modal, the overlay remains so the parent is inaccessible.

Any ideas on a solution for that?

Thanks.
