How to block navigation of links and go to click events instead.

[Noel]

I've got RadPanelBar with Items with navigateUrl property set. I want the click event on these items to go to the Click event in code-behind instead of navigating to the navigateUrl.

I tried defining a ClientItemClick function for the click event where I set the navigateUrl to null so that it can then go to the code-behind click event.
But it is not working.

Is there anything I can do with preventDefault or anything of that sort?

Thanks and Regards,
Noel

Thanks for the solution. But I've a special requirement. I need the navigateUrl to be set so that I can right click on the link and open in the new window. For cases where a normal click is done on the link, I just want to do some tasks in code behind..

I tried using the OnClientItemClick event, and setting the navigateUrl to "javascript:void(null)" in the event handler, but it is not working.

Any ideas?

Hi Noel,

You could use the same approach described in the article in the previous post for the RadPanelBar. Did you try and what issues did you encounter? Since your scenario is very customized I would suggest that you open a support ticket and address the problem there. Thus you could attach a runnable project that we can inspect locally and help you out with a solution.
