Accessing buttons in RadToolBar

[Jesús]

I'm migrating form 2007 Q2 release to 2008 Q3 release.

I have an scenario with different RadToolBarButtons that I control what of them I want to show and what of them I want to hide, depending of some parameter values.

In the previous version I could refer the buttons using myToolBar.Items.GetButtonByCommandName("myCommandName"). What I have to do right now?

Hi El,

You should use FindButtonByCommandName method of RadToolBar like this:

RadToolBarButton btn = (RadToolBarButton) myToolBar.FindButtonByCommandName(name);

Perfect.

Thanks.

Just want to warn that this information should be on the "Migrating From RadToolBar ASP.NET to ASP.NET AJAX" chapter of the manual. I don't really understand why you choose this way of accessing Items.

If you need to change some properties on some amount of buttons, using the new method

RadToolBarButton btn = (RadToolBarButton) myToolBar.FindButtonByCommandName(name);

over the old one

myToolBar.Items.GetButtonByCommandName("myCommandName").property = ...

is really turning things more difficult don't you think? The curious thing is that some of the properties are there when using myToolBar.FindButtonByCommandName(name).property, but unfortunately, enabled property isn't.

Hi Hugo,

Thanks for your feedback. We will review the "Migrating From RadToolBar ASP.NET to ASP.NET AJAX" chapter and update it accordingly.
