This is a universal method to find the RadPanelbar client object regardless where it is nested on the page. This method comes in handy if RadPanelbar is nested in another control:
 |
RadPanelbar must be rendered only once. For example, you can use this approach if RadPanelbar is nested in a toolbar template button. However, if RadPanelbar is nested in a grid with more than one row, the method fails since there will be multiple instances the rendered Panelbar for each grid row. |

<script type="text/javascript">
var panelbar1;
function StorePanelbarClientObject(sender)
{
panelbar1 = sender;
}
function UtilizePanelbarClientObject()
{
alert(panelbar1.ID);
}
</script>
<AnyControl>
<Template>
<rad:RadPanelbar ID="RadPanelbar1" OnClientLoad="StorePanelbarClientObject" runat="server">
</rad:RadPanelbar>
</Template>
</AnyControl>
<input id="Button1" type="button" onclick="UtilizePanelbarClientObject()" value="button" /> |
The above approach is possible due to the OnClientLoad event of RadPanelbar.
|
The StorePanelbarClientObject function must be declared before the RadPanelbar definition. |
