Adding button control to dynamically created RadPanelBar

[Eric]

Markup .aspx

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="PanelBar1" Height="100px" Width="100%" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" Skin="MyCustonSkin" runat="server">
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

Code Behind .aspx.cs




protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    RadPanelItem myProfilePanelItem = new RadPanelItem();

    myProfilePanelItem.Text = "My Profile";

 

    RadPanelItem myFavoritesPanelItem = new RadPanelItem();

    myFavoritesPanelItem.Text = "My Favorites";

    Button btnSearchFavorites = new Button();

    btnSearchFavorites.Text = "Search more favorites";

    btnSearchFavorites.CssClass = "ButtonStyle";

    btnSearchFavorites.Click += new EventHandler(btnSearchFavorites_Click);

    myFavoritesPanelItem.Controls.Add(btnSearchFavorites);

 

    PanelBar1.Items.Add(myProfilePanelItem);

    PanelBar1.Items.Add(myFavoritesPanelItem);

}

protected void btnSearchFavorites_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect("~/Favorites", false);
}

The problem is that the btnSearchFavorites_Click event is not firing when the button is clicked.

Hi Eric,

Templates could be added to RadPanelBar at runtime, using the ItemTemplate property. Try adding the button in a as shown below.
C#:

CustomContentTemplate template = new CustomContentTemplate();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  foreach (RadPanelItem item in PanelBar1.Items)
  {
    item.ContentTemplate = new CustomContentTemplate();
    template.InstantiateIn(item);
    item.DataBind();
  }
}
class CustomContentTemplate : ITemplate
{
   public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
   {
            Button btnSearchFavorites = new Button();
            btnSearchFavorites.Text = "Search more favorites";
            btnSearchFavorites.CssClass = "ButtonStyle";
            btnSearchFavorites.Click += new EventHandler(btnSearchFavorites_Click);
            container.Controls.Add(btnSearchFavorites);
   }
   void btnSearchFavorites_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
   }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

I get the following error if I do this:

"Cannot set ContentTemplate on a RadPanelItem, which has child Items."

I forgot to mention that myFavoritesPanelItem  has child items, and all items are created dynamically in code behind because most items are dynamic (come from the database)

Here's my structure:

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3 -> SEARCH MORE FAVORITES BUTTON

Item 4
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

Try to write this code in Page_Init instead of Page_Load
