Client Events unable to work

[Benjamin]

I have set the following for the RadGrid in my project.

<ClientSettings>
    <ClientEvents OnRowDeleting="javascript:return confirm('Delete selected record?');"/>
</ClientSettings>

Initially this client event works perfectly: It would display a confirmation dialog box and will only delete the record if the user approves it. Strangely now the script doesn't work at all. Clicking on the delete command would immediately delete the record. I've even tried the following to no avail.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function ConfirmDelete()
    {
        return confirm('Delete selected record?');
    }
</script>
<ClientSettings>
    <ClientEvents OnRowDeleting="ConfirmDelete"/>
</ClientSettings>

Is there some setting that I've left out? Why does it refuse to run any client script?

Hi Benjamin,

Try using a GridClientDeleteColumn or a GridButtonColumn to perform the Delete operation so that you can set the ConfirmText property for those columns.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridClientDeleteColumn UniqueName="DeleteCol" ConfirmText="Are You sure?" ></telerik:GridClientDeleteColumn>

<telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="DeleteRow" ConfirmText="You want to delete?" HeaderText="DeleteColumn" ButtonType="LinkButton" Text="DeleteRow" ></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

Thanks
Shinu.

CommandName="DeleteRow" did NOT work, but CommandName="Delete" DID.

I was still expecting your ClientSettings-ClientEvents-OnRowDeleting property to allow me to enter my own javascript code for the auto-generated Delete column though...

Hello Aaron,

OnRowDeleting Will be raised in case of client-side delete:
