Add New Node Context Menu - Capture Text

I have a context menu where I add new nodes. I used this example to create the context menu:http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/treeview/examples/functionality/contextmenu/defaultcs.aspx. My issue is that when a user add's a new node I need to capture what the user names the node, so that I can add it to the database. Currently the code uses javascript to set the node as editable on Page Load.

How do I go about capturing the text value the user inputs when adding a new node?

JAVASCRIPT

<script type="text/javascript">

//<!--

function onClientContextMenuShowing(sender, args) {

var treeNode = args.get_node();

treeNode.set_selected(true);

//enable/disable menu items

setMenuItemsState(args.get_menu().get_items(), treeNode);

}

function onClientContextMenuItemClicking(sender, args) {

var menuItem = args.get_menuItem();

var treeNode = args.get_node();

menuItem.get_menu().hide();

switch (menuItem.get_value()) {

case "Rename":

treeNode.startEdit();

break;

case "addLocation":

break;

}

//this method disables the appropriate context menu items

function setMenuItemsState(menuItems, treeNode) {

for (var i = 0; i < menuItems.get_count(); i++) {

var menuItem = menuItems.getItem(i);

switch (menuItem.get_value()) {

case "Rename":

formatMenuItem(menuItem, treeNode, 'Rename "{0}"');

break;

case "addLocation":

if (treeNode.get_parent() == treeNode.get_treeView()) {

menuItem.set_enabled(false);

}

else {

menuItem.set_enabled(true);

}

break;

}

//formats the Text of the menu item

function formatMenuItem(menuItem, treeNode, formatString) {

var nodeValue = treeNode.get_value();

if (nodeValue && nodeValue.indexOf("_Private_") == 0) {

menuItem.set_enabled(false);

}

else {

menuItem.set_enabled(true);

}

var newText = String.format(formatString, extractTitleWithoutMails(treeNode));

menuItem.set_text(newText);

}

//checks if the text contains (digit)

function hasNodeMails(treeNode) {

return treeNode.get_text().match(/$[\d]+$/ig);

}

//removes the brackets with the numbers,e.g. Inbox (30)

function extractTitleWithoutMails(treeNode) {

return treeNode.get_text().replace(/\s*$[\d]+$\s*/ig, "");

}

//-->

</script>

Columns loose their width

I have a radgrid and because I wanted the expand button to be shown on the right most column part of the grid, i set in mastertableview the attribute ExpandCollapseColumn-Visible="false" and added a new GridTemplateColumn with a button that performs the expand command.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn ItemStyle-Width="27px" ItemStyle-Height="46px" Resizable="false"                 >
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Button CommandName="ExpandCollapse" runat="server" ID="EC"   CssClass="expandbutton" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
Obviously in code behind, I intercept my command and the nestedviewtemplate in my case is shown correctly on expand. So far so good, expand and collpase work fine, the problem is that on expand, the columns of my grid (outer grid) loose their size(some become smaller, same become larger than in the all collapsed state). I tried setting Resizable=false on all GridTemplateColumn, but no result....
Any ideas? Can you please help?

Thank you,
Marina

Home / Community & Support / Knowledge Base / RadControls for ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX / Editor / Uploading images and files to a Shared Drive Uploading images and files to a Shared Drive IIS7

I cannot get image listing to show in the Image Manager of the Editor control. It just shows nothing. I verified that my virtual directory is correct because it is showing image listing in IIS7 Server Manager.

I linked it to a virtual directory however it does not work when using a virtual directory link to a remote server directory. If I link it to a local folder on the web hosting server it works fine.

I followed the instructions on this link: http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/uploading-images-and-files-to-a-shared-drive.aspx
however the instructions seems specific to IIS6.

Is these a different technique used for IIS7? Is this a permissions problem?

RadDateTimePicker not working client-side

Hello,

I'm having issues when setting the selected and minimum dates on a RadDateTimePicker client-side.

I've two RadDateTimePickers, one for setting the starting datetime (dtpBegin) and other for the ending (dtpEnd) declared as follows:

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1">

......

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="dtpBegin" runat="server">

<ClientEvents OnDateSelected="startDateTimeSelected" OnPopupClosing="startDateTimePopupClosing" />

</telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="dtpEnd" runat="server">

<ClientEvents OnPopupClosing="endDateTimePopupClosing" />

</telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

</telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

<telerik:RadScriptBlock runat="server">

<script type="text/javascript">

var endDateTimePickerId = "<%= dtpEnd.ClientID %>";

</script>

</telerik:RadScriptBlock>

When selecting the starting datetime, I'd like to set the selected value as minimum on the ending control and also would like to set a valid value for that control (say the starting datetime plus 1 minute). To do that, I've the following code client-side:

function startDateTimeSelected(sender, e) {

if (e.get_newDate != undefined && e.get_newDate() != null) {

var startDate = e.get_newDate();

var endDateTimePicker = $find(endDateTimePickerId);

endDateTimePicker.set_minDate(e.get_newDate());

if (endDateTimePicker.get_timeView().getTime() < startDate) {

var timeView = timePicker.get_timeView();

timeView.setTime(newDate.getHours(), newDate.getMinutes() + 1, newDate.getSeconds(), newDate);

}

Now, even though the calls to set_minDate and setTime are not throwing any errors, the selected date on dtpEnd is not changed neither is the minimum date time set. One thing I find weird is that after setting the time on dtpEnd, if I run on Firebug's console:

$find(endDateTimePickerId).get_timeView().getTime()

I get null.

And regarding the minimum date, if I run on Firebug's console:

$find(endDateTimePickerId).get_minDate()

I get the expected value (even though the calendar allows to select any value).
One extra thing that might be useful for troubleshooting is that I'm also setting the MinDate server-side for these two controls (setting it to DateTime.Now to forbid users selecting past datetimes).

Thanks a lot,
Diego.
