You can use the
ItemCommandevent to validate the user actions in order to tighten security. You can find an example in the Security help article.
ExplorerPopulated
This event is fired twice - once when the TreeView's items are populated and second time when the Grid's items are populated. The ControlName property contains the name of the control, which will consume the populated data (e.List). This event can be used to sort the FileExplorer's items for example.
<telerik:RadFileExplorer RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadFileExplorer1" Width="575px" EnableCopy="true"
Height="375px" OnExplorerPopulated="RadFileExplorer1_ExplorerPopulated">
<Configuration ViewPaths="~/ROOT/" DeletePaths="~/ROOT/" UploadPaths="~/ROOT/" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>
protected void RadFileExplorer1_ExplorerPopulated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorerPopulatedEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.ControlName)
{
case "tree":
{// The TreeView control will be populated
// Sorts the items shown in the Tree by name
e.List.Sort(delegate(FileBrowserItem fileBrowserItem1, FileBrowserItem fileBrowserItem2)
{
return fileBrowserItem1.Name.CompareTo(fileBrowserItem2.Name);
});
}; break;
case "grid":
{// The Grid control will be populated
// Sorts the items shown in the Grid by name
e.List.Sort(delegate(FileBrowserItem fileBrowserItem1, FileBrowserItem fileBrowserItem2)
{
return fileBrowserItem1.Name.CompareTo(fileBrowserItem2.Name);
});
// DESC order
e.List.Reverse();
}; break;
}
}
Protected Sub RadFileExplorer1_ExplorerPopulated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorerPopulatedEventArgs)
Select Case e.ControlName
Case "tree"
If True Then
' The TreeView control will be populated
' Sorts the items shown in the Tree by name
e.List.Sort(Function(fileBrowserItem1 As FileBrowserItem, fileBrowserItem2 As FileBrowserItem) fileBrowserItem1.Name.CompareTo(fileBrowserItem2.Name))
End If
Exit Select
Case "grid"
If True Then
' The Grid control will be populated
' Sorts the items shown in the Grid by name
e.List.Sort(Function(fileBrowserItem1 As FileBrowserItem, fileBrowserItem2 As FileBrowserItem) fileBrowserItem1.Name.CompareTo(fileBrowserItem2.Name))
' DESC order
e.List.Reverse()
End If
Exit Select
End Select
End Sub
You can also handle some of the events of the controls nested in RadFileExplorer by accessing them in the Page_Load event through the RadFileExplorer object. More details about the controls nested in RadFileExplorer can be found here:
