Hello,
I'm trying to add some client-side context sensitivity (button showing/hiding, enabling/disabling) to a RadToolBar which I've nested inside the CommandItemTemplate of a RadGrid, but my attempts to get a handle to the toolbar and its buttons aren't working.
I've gone through the various examples and forum threads, and found similar subjects (which I've tried to adapt) but nothing I've been able to figure out how to make use of for this situation.
What I have:
RadToolBar1, with three Buttons and one separator ("Extract", "Separator 1", "Save", "Delete"), inside of the CommandItemTemplate of RadGrid1.
Does anyone have an example of how to get a client-side reference to the nested toolbar or its buttons?
Thanks,
Christopher

Hello Christopher,
Go through the following code library submission on how to access controls in RadGrid templates on client. In the example, a global registry is used to keep the control ID's and script is emitted for every server control that adds an item to the global registry. Finally, by looping over all the registered elements on the client, the required control is accessed using its ServerId.

Hi Princy,
That seems to get me most of the way but I'm obviously missing some understanding of exactly what I'm getting back from the function. The returned element certainly has the ClientID of the toolbar, but I can't do anything with it. Any attempt to use any toolbar client side functions on it fail with a error.
So the return value isn't the same as I get when using a $find to get a toolbar that isn't nested, and I'm afraid I'm too noob to quite grasp if there's something I'm not doing that needs to be done.
Thanks,
