Hi,
When I click a folder in the tree, it is loaded (the folder gets populated with children).
When this happens, I want to output extra meta information about these children to the page.
(The children that are loaded when a folder is selected are lazy loaded (or loaded on demand, if you will) from a database (I use a custom content provider)).
I've tried using the server side FileExplorer.Load event, since I've noticed that that is called every time a folder is clicked in the tree. However, the text for "testLabel" isn't updated:
Page_Load()
{
fileExplorer.Load += fileExplorer_Load;
}
void fileExplorer_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
testLabel.Text = "my new metadata for the newly loaded children"
}
Is it possible to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Regards,
Andreas

The behavior that your experience is the expected one because the RadFileExplorer uses AJAX requests and Callback in order to update its content. The Label in your case, however, is out of the updated region and this is why it is not updated. In your case I recommend you to wrap the Label in a RadAjaxPanel control and use its AjaxRequest event in order to update the label. You can call this event client-side using ajaxRequest method. You need to call it in the RadFileExplorer's OnClientFolderLoaded client-side event.
For your convenience I have attached a demo to this thread.
