Close Command

[Andy Ho]

Hi,

I tried to create a docks dynamically with the following code:

                Dim newdock As RadDock = CreateRadDock()
                newdock.Tag = "../Webparts/Info.ascx"
                newdock.DockMode = DockMode.Docked
                newdock.EnableRoundedCorners = True
                newdock.UniqueName = "BXT"
                newdock.ID = "BXT"
                newdock.Skin = "Telerik"

                newdock.DefaultCommands = Telerik.Web.UI.Dock.DefaultCommands.Close

                Dim cmd As New DockCommand
                cmd.Name = "DoSomething"
                cmd.Text = "DoSomething"
                newdock.Commands.Add(cmd)

                newdock.CommandsAutoPostBack = True
                newdock.Title = "Testing":

                newdock.Height = New Unit(200, UnitType.Pixel)
                AddHandler newdock.Command, AddressOf RadDock_Command
                LoadWidget(newdock)
                zoneLeft.Controls.Add(newdock)

The dock created sucessfully but when I clicked the default "Close" command, the server event "RadDock_Command" doesn't fire, But if I click the "Custom" command, it works ok. I want to capture the close event as I want to do something else. Please advise.

Hi Andy,

Could you please make sure the Close command is also added to the Commands list of the RadDock, as shown below:

Dim dock As New RadDock()
dock.DockMode = DockMode.Docked
dock.UniqueName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "a")
dock.ID = String.Format("RadDock{0}", dock.UniqueName)
dock.Title = "Dock"
dock.Text = String.Format("Added at {0}", DateTime.Now)
dock.Width = Unit.Pixel(300)

dock.Commands.Add(New DockCloseCommand())
dock.Commands.Add(New DockExpandCollapseCommand())

All the best,

Pero,

Thanks.

One more quick question for you, I COPIED my web-application from the Development server to another new server, the program works ok but all the skin disappear, the RadMenu becomes <li> tag, is there anything else I need to copy/install also?

Thanks in advance.

Forget to tell, I'm using the "Outlook" skin.

Pero,

Yes, After I add the command with:

dock.commands.add(new DockCloseCommand)

it works ok, just wonder why if I use: 

dock.DefaultCommands = Telerik.Web.UI.Dock.DefaultCommands.Close

it shows the command but not add the event handle.

Hello Andy Ho,

The problem is that the default commands are added in ControlPreRender, so that the collection could be modified in any previous stage. As a result, when the event is fired - the commands collection is still empty.
That's why we recommend to create commands dynamically.

Sincerely yours,
