Hi,
I would like to register a second event handler for the RadToolBar's client side event "OnClientButtonClicked". Is that somehow possible?
The first event was registered by adding it to the toolbar's "OnClientButtonClicked" property.

Best regards
Ferdinand

Hello Ferdinand,

I'm afraid that you can have only one handler for an event.

Hello,

I am getting confused about why you are trying to add two event handlers for same event and also I am not sure about whether it is possible. Could you elaborate the scenario that you are trying?

If you want to change the event handler to new handler from code behind, then you could try setting new name for OnClientButtonClicked.
aspx:
<telerik:RadToolBar OnClientButtonClicked="clicked1" ID="RadToolBar1" runat="server">
    <Items>
     . . .
    </Items>
</telerik:RadToolBar>

Code behind:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadToolBar1.OnClientButtonClicked = "clicked2"; // Change the handler
}

Client code:
<script type="text/javascript">
    function clicked1(sender, args) {  // default handler
        alert("clicked1");
    }
    function clicked2(sender, args) {  // New handler
        alert("clicked2");
    }
</script>

Hi and thanks for the answers.
@Shinu: To my intentions: In my project every page has a toolbar. I wrote a UserControl that adds a button to the toolbar which calls a RadTooltip clientside. Some of my toolbars already have handlers for OnButtonClicked so that I have to attach another one for the event.

@Yana: Sorry I have to disagree with you but actually I found a way to add a second handler to the toolbar's OnClientClicked. After some debugging I found the following way:
function AddHandlerToToolbar(toolbarClientId) {
     var toolbar = $find(toolbarClientId);
     if (toolbar != null) {
         toolbar.add_buttonClicked(OnCsvButtonClicked);
     }
 }
By using the function "add_buttonClicked" it is possible to add another handler to the event.

Best regards

I'm intrigued because it is actually working, but why is it working and why do would you one two event handler for the same event???. Really confusing...

Hello,

Ferdinand: you are right about that - you can register more handlers for the same client event using client-side code (not in the aspx page). I'm sorry for my mistake.

Sébastien: actually this is how javascript works - you can also attach two click events to a button.

Best wishes,
