RadFileExplorer with EnableAsyncUpload = True and the Select Button

[BRIAN]

Hello,
Is there a way to capture an event when a user clicks the [Select] button on the AsyncUpload?

I am using a RadFileExplorer in an ASP.NET application and I have this control’s EnableAsyncUpload = true. While a user browses the page and clicks Upload on the FileExplorer toolbar, the AsyncUpload appears (as expected). The AsyncUpload displays 2 buttons: [Select] and [Upload].

I know that I can use the OnItemCommand event of FileExplorer to “do something” when the user clicks [Upload]. But is there some other FileExplorer event that I can utilize when the user clicks [Select]?

I think I posted a similar question like this about 2 years ago and I was basically told “No, it can’t be done.” Is this now possible with the latest version of FileExplorer? What I want to do is validate each filename as they are selected by the user, instead of having to validate during the upload.

Thank you

Hi Brian,

The AsyncUpload control exposes an OnClientFilesSelected which is fired just after the files are selected in the FileExplorer's upload dialog and  OnClientFilesUploaded event, fired after the files are slected and uploaded in the temp folder, waiting to be uploaded when the "Upload" button is clicked. You can attach a handler to these events in a similar way:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadFileExplorer1.AsyncUpload.OnClientFilesSelected = "ClientFilesSelected";
}

<script>
    function ClientFilesSelected(asyncUpload, args) {
        //your logic here
    }
</script>

I hope this information will be helpful for you.

Kind regards,
Vessy
