callback from tooltip

[Morten]

On a page I have a tooltip manager and a radgrid.
In every grid row I add a tooltiptargetcontrol to an image.
Image.OnClick pops up the tooltip that loads a usercontrol with data specific to the grid row.

I would like the tooltip to reload the grid (using ajax) upon the OnClientHide event.

Is this possible?

Hello Morten,

Here is how you should approach the task:

1. Wrap your RadGrid into a regular <asp:UpdatePanel>

2. In the OnClientHide of the tooltip, all you need to do is "submit" the update panel, which can be done like this:

function refreshGrid()
            {
                __doPostBack("<%= RadGridUpdatePanel.ClientID %>");
            }

All the best,

the entire page is wrapped in <telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="rap" runat="server">.

If I place the following code within the masterpage contentplaceholder:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientHide(sender, eventArgs){
  __doPostBack("<%= rap.ClientID %>");
}
</script>

I get the following error on page load:

The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Hovering the grid's refresh button I get the following reference:
///__doPostBack('ctl00$cph$rg$ctl00$ctl02$ctl00$RebindGridButton','');

couldn't I, somehow, do something like this:

function OnClientHide(sender, eventArgs){
  __doPostBack('<%= rg.ClientID %>$RebindGridButton','');
}

Hi Morten,

This error is a general ASP.NET problem. You need to put the code somewhere on the page in a control that does not have its controls collection directly modified from the codebehind. Or you need to "output" this javascript function from the codebehind as well - forming a script string, and registering it on the page using the ScriptManager methods for adding scripts.

I got things to work by involving a hidden button, wrapping the js in a RadScriptBlock, and simulating a button click in the OnClientHide:

<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="RadScriptBlock1" runat="server">
  <script type="text/javascript">
  function OnClientHide(sender, eventArgs)  {
    var btn = document.getElementById('<%= btnRefresh.ClientID %>');
    if (btn){btn.click();}
  }
  </script>
</telerik:RadScriptBlock>

<asp:Button ID="btnRefresh" runat="server" Text="Refresh" style="visibility:hidden ;" />

  Protected Sub btnRefresh_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
                                 ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
            Handles btnRefresh.Click
    rg.Rebind()
  End Sub
