Hi,
Is it possible to handle the default close button on the dock controls toolbar on the server-side?

Hi Gareth,

The dock's server-side Command event is fired when postbacks are enabled and any of the control's commands is clicked. You can use the Command event handler to provide implementation for custom commands or to augment the default behavior of the built-in commands. I suggest you take a look at the Command help article for more detailed information on the issue. If you want to handle the dock's close command server side you can use the Command event handler and check whether the Command name is "Close", e.g.:

<telerik:RadDock id="dock1" runat="server" oncommand="dock1_Command"></telerik:RadDock> 
void dock1_Command(object sender, DockCommandEventArgs e)  
{  
     if (e.Command.Name == "Close")  
     {  
     //your code here  
     }  
I you need further assistance, do contact us again.

Best regards,
Sophy

Hi, everybody!

I'm trying Sophy's suggestion, but I have problem. Event is never fired.

Here is my RadDock:

<telerik:RadDock runat="server" ID="rdDialog" Title="Okno" Closed="true" Left="280px" 
            Width="725px" Top="60px" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="False" 
            OnCommand="raddock_Command" CommandsAutoPostBack="true" AutoPostBack="true"

And here is event handler:

protected void raddock_Command(object sender, DockCommandEventArgs e) 
        { 
            if (e.Command.Name == "Close"
            { 
               //some code of mine                 
            } 
        }

It seems that the event is not fired when default commands are used. If you declare dock commands everything will be OK.
Try this:
   <telerik:RadDock runat="server"   
            ID="rdDialog" Title="Okno" Closed="true" Left="280px" Width="725px" Top="60px" 
            EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="False"    
            OnCommand="raddock_Command"   
            AutoPostBack="true">    
            <Commands> 
                <telerik:DockCloseCommand AutoPostBack="true" /> 
            </Commands> 
            <ContentTemplate> 
            </ContentTemplate> 
        </telerik:RadDock> 
        <input type="button" value="showDock" onclick="$find('rdDialog').set_closed(false)" />

Hi,

I'm hoping that you might be able to help.

I'm creating docks dynamically and need to handle the 'Close' command serverside. Only issue is I can't access OnCommand server side ... any ideas?

Cheers,
Stuart.

Try to set AutoPostback= true to each command.
Keep in mind that if you create RadDocks dynamically you should recreate them on each Postback/Ajax call in OnInit. If the commands and docks are not recreated the code in the command's handler will not be executed.

The problem is not firing the postback - what I need to do is set handle the onclick event server-side.

What I'm trying to do is when the user closes (in my case removes) the dock I want a serverside event to fire to remove it from the database. So when the dock is dynamically created I need to assign an onclick command to call the Server Side sub.

I have changed my application to use a different method but it would still be nice to find out how to acheive this.

Hello Stuart,

We added animations to RadDock in the last version(2009/Q1 SP2) . There is a bug if the RadDock's EnableAnimation property is set to false and the close event is not fired. The problem is already fixed but the fix will be available in next official release. To fix the problem with the current version, all you need to do is to override the set_closed method as it shown below:
ASPX:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %> 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > 
<head runat="server">  
    <title>Untitled Page</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
    <form id="form1" runat="server">  
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager> 
    <div> 
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label> 
    <telerik:RadDockLayout ID="RadDockLayout1" runat="server">  
        <telerik:RadDockZone ID="RadDockZone1" runat="server">  
            <telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock1" runat="server">  
            </telerik:RadDock> 
        </telerik:RadDockZone>    
    </telerik:RadDockLayout> 
    </div> 
    </form> 
    <script type="text/javascript">  
    //FIX the problem when dock is without animation.  
    var old_SetClosed = Telerik.Web.UI.RadDock.prototype.set_closed;  
    Telerik.Web.UI.RadDock.prototype.set_closed = function(value, playAnimation)  
    {  
           if(value == true)  
           {  
                this._closed = value;  
                var element = this.get_element();  
                element.style.display = "none";  
                this.updateClientState();  
                Telerik.Web.UI.DockCloseCommand.callBaseMethod(this.getCommand("Close"), 'onCommand');  
           }  
           else  
           {  
                old_SetClosed(value, playAnimation);  
           }  
     }  
    </script> 
</body> 
</html> 
 
Codebehind:
 protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)  
    {  
        base.OnInit(e);  
        DockCloseCommand command = new DockCloseCommand();  
        command.AutoPostBack = true;  
        RadDock1.Commands.Add(command);  
        RadDock1.Command +=new DockCommandEventHandler(RadDock1_Command);  
    }  
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
    {  
 
    }  
    protected void RadDock1_Command(object sender, DockCommandEventArgs e)  
    {  
        Label1.Text = e.Command.Name + " is clicked";  
    }

Hi,

I am creating docks dynamically and need the close command to be handled server-side as well.  Your example works fine granted I know which dock is closed.  In my case I do not.  I need to be able to update a record in the database based on the dock that was closed.  What is the best way I can accomplish this?  Is there a way I can dynamically create an event handler?

You should add a close command with AutoPostback = true and handle RadDock's OnCommand event, e.g.

 protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)  
    {  
        base.OnInit(e);  
        RadDock dock = new RadDock();  
        dock.ID = "newDock";  
          
        DockCloseCommand closeCommand = new DockCloseCommand();  
        closeCommand.AutoPostBack = true;          
        dock.Commands.Add(closeCommand);  
 
        dock.Command += new DockCommandEventHandler(dock_Command);  
        RadDockZone1.Controls.Add(dock);  
    }  
 
    void dock_Command(object sender, DockCommandEventArgs e)  
    {  
        //SAVE TO DB
    } 

Keep in mind that you should recreate the RadDock, its commands and attach its handlers on each postback/ajax call in onInit.

Hi Prashanth,

You can close a RadDock on the server-side by setting its property Closed to true. Another option is to retrieve its client-side object and call the function set_closed(true), which will close the dock on the client.

Hi Team,

I am creating Telerik web controls on  a sharepoint web part ( it is typically another web pagedisplayed on the sharepoint portal).

In this I am using the Rad dock to display data. This part is working well. Now My aim is to handle the rad dock close event and store that in the database. How ever I am not able to detect the dock close event. this event is not being raised. My sample code is as follows .


        private RadDock CreateRadDock()
        {
            var dock = new RadDock
            {
                DockMode = DockMode.Docked,
                UniqueName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "a")
            };
            dock.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", dock.UniqueName);
            
            DockCloseCommand closeCommand = new DockCloseCommand();
            closeCommand.AutoPostBack = true;
            dock.Commands.Add(closeCommand);
            dock.Command += new DockCommandEventHandler(dock_Command);


            dock.Title = "Dock";
            return dock;
        }


        void dock_Command(object sender, DockCommandEventArgs e)
        {
             // my custom code here when this event is fired.
        }



The event is not getting fired.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thank you

Regards,
Sid

Hello Sidhartha,

Most probably this happens because you generate a different ID for the RadDock instance each time it is created.

You need to set the same ID for the dock on each page load, otherwise the framework will detect it as a new dock control and the event will not be fired.
