Persist Collapsed property of a RadSplitter on MasterPage

[riz]

Hi,
In my web application, I use a master page for all pages.
This master page contains a RadSplitter (horizontal orientation) which first pane's contains the header of my pages.

The question is : is it possible to persit the Collapsed property when navigating from a page to another of the application.

There is no way to set this property on server side and to use the Session to persist it for example...

For example :
If (PageReferrer.Master.RadPaneHeader.Collapsed = true) Then (this.Master.RadPaneHeader.Collapsed = true)

Is there any solution to do that?
Thanks for any help.

Riz,

I might be able to help you with that problem, we had similar requirements in the need to keep a persisted "pinned / Unpinned" state for the the Splitter menu.. what we did to overcome the limitations of .NET was to use a WebService to capture a boolean value set clientside by the control, and whenever the master page did an onload event, it would check to see what the value of this boolean property was from the webservice, as the collapse / expand property can be set onload...

Hope this is of help, can give you further details if you need :)

Cheers

Hello Riz,

Actually, Kevin is correct that you should use some technique to pass a parameter between the pages based on which to decide whether the pane should be collapsed or not. However, I can also suggest to use a javascript cookie in case you do not want to use a WebService because it will be more simple.

All the best,

Hi Kevin and Svetlina,

I use a Javascript cookie to solve my problem and that works fine. The cookie is killed when the client session is terminated.
Thanks a lot for your advises.

Hello Svetlina ,

I am running through the same requirement, could you please provide a full detailed solution using the Cookies.

Hi Waleed,

The implementation of a javascrpt cookie is not directly related to RadControls and RadSplitter but to general mechanisms of persisting and passing values. Thus we believe that you will be able to implement it yourself by using the information available on the net, e.g the following article is a good start:

In case you experience problems with the splitter and its API, provide more detailed explanations and source code with the splitter problem explained and we will do our best to help.
