Dock

Hi,
I use a dock with a set of custom commands and I use the radconfirm function on one of the command. When calling dock.set_close(true) in the callback of radconfirm the dock is closed in the browser but when I make a post back, the dock is not closed on the server. If i don't use a callback everything is fine.
Here is a test page with this scenario:

Docks.aspx:

    
            <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Docks.aspx.cs" Inherits="Docks" %> 
        
            <%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

            <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 
        
            <head runat="server"> 
        
                <title>Untitled Page</title> 
        
            </head> 
        
            <body> 
        
                <form id="form1" runat="server"> 
        
                <div> 
        
                    <script type="text/javascript"> 
        
                        function closeDock(dock, args){ 
        
                            setTimeout( function(){ dock.set_closed(true);}, 100); 
        
                        } 
        
                    </script> 
        
                    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager> 
        
                    <telerik:RadDock ID="dock1" runat="server"> 
        
                        <Commands> 
        
                            <telerik:DockCommand Name="close" Text="close" OnClientCommand="closeDock" /> 
        
                        </Commands> 
        
                    </telerik:RadDock> 
        
                    <br /> 
        
                    <br /> 
        
                    <br /> 
        
                    <br /> 
        
                    <asp:Button ID="btn1" runat="server" Text="Post back"/> 
        
                    <asp:Label ID="result" runat="server"></asp:Label> 
        
                </div> 
        
                </form> 
        
            </body> 
        
            </html>

Docks.aspx.cs:

    
            using System; 
        
            public partial class Docks : System.Web.UI.Page 
        
            { 
        
                protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    result.Text = string.Empty; 
        
                    btn1.Click += new EventHandler(btn1_Click); 
        
                } 
        
                void btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    result.Text = dock1.Closed.ToString(); 
        
                } 
        
            }

When I closed the dock and click the button the Closed property is still false. If the js function is changed to this:

    
            function closeDock(dock, args){ 
        
                dock.set_closed(true); 
        
            }

everything is ok. What I want is that the Closed property is true even if I use a callback. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Ivan Pelovski

Hi Ivan,

Once you close, expand, collapse etc. a RadDock via JavaScript and you want to preserve the state on postback, you should invoke RadDock.updateClientState() client-side method ($find("RadDock1").updateClientState()).
e.g.

    
            function closeDock(dock, args)  
        
            {    
        
                dock.set_closed(true);  
        
                dock.updateClientState();    
        
            }

Hello nowickim,

If you want to preserve the state after postback you should invoke RadDock.updateClientState() method after:

RadDock.set_pinned(true/false)
RadDock.set_closed(true/false)
RadDock.set_collapsed(true/false)

If the dock is manually (with mouse click) closed, collapsed or pinned its new client state will be updated automatically and you don't need to invoke RadDock.updateClientState() method.
