ImageBrowser / FileBrowser - How do I override the select event?

[Aaron]

I want to implement an Outlook / email style control when attaching files.  I need to override the Filebrowser event to NOT insert a link to the document, I just need to know the ID of the document so I can store it separately.  Is there any way to do this?  I don't see any events for File / image browsers.

Thanks.

Hello Aaron,

The desired result requires three steps:

1. Obtain a reference to the ImageBrowser or FileBrowser widget after it is opened. The following forum post shows how to do that.

(use .k-insertFile for the FileBrowser toolbar icon)


2. Disable the native ImageBrowser or FileBrowser functionality:

var element = $(".k-imagebrowser"); // or .k-filebrowser

element.data("kendoImageBrowser").unbind("apply"); // or kendoFileBrowser
element.closest(".k-window").find(".k-dialog-insert").off("click");

3. Attach new apply and click handlers that do whatever you need. The following documentation section shows how to attach widget event handlers after initialization via bind.
