Hello!

I have just upgraded my toolbar from the old version to the new prometheus (release) build and the syntax has totally changed and I can't work out how to get what I was working again.

My new tool bar has buttons as follows..

    
              <telerik:RadToolBarButton CommandName="if" Text="if" CommandArgument="condition" /> 
        
              <telerik:RadToolBarButton CommandName="then" Text="then" CommandArgument="condition" /> 
        
              <telerik:RadToolBarButton CommandName="else" Text="else" CommandArgument="condition" />

when someone clicks one I need to get at the commandName and Command Argument in the code behind.
Previously I did this:

    
            string defaultText = e.Button.CommandName;  
        
            string commandArg = e.Button.CommandArgument;

in the onclick of the of the toolbar event, now there is no onClick, just an onButtonClick, so I have tried using this, but I can't work out how to get at the commandArgument or CommandName.

Please could you give me some sample code?
Thanks

Hi Juzzer,

The RadToolBarButtonClick event passes a reference to a RadToolBarItem. We took that decision because there are two items that can raise the button click event - RadToolBarButton and RadToolBarSplitButton. Apparently that did not take the best decision and we will improve this for the first service pack of the RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax.

Currently the proper way to identify the command name of the item is:

    protected void ToolBar1_ButtonClick(object sender, RadToolBarEventArgs e)
    {
        lblInfo.Text = string.Format("Item that initiated the postback was: {0}", e.Item.Text);
        if (e.Item is RadToolBarButton)
        {
            RadToolBarButton button = e.Item as RadToolBarButton;
            lblInfo.Text = string.Format("Item that initiated the postback was: {0}; its command name is: {1}", e.Item.Text, button.CommandName);
        }
        if (e.Item is RadToolBarSplitButton)
        {
            RadToolBarSplitButton splitButton = e.Item as RadToolBarSplitButton;
            lblInfo.Text = string.Format("Item that initiated the postback was: {0}; its command name is: {1}", e.Item.Text, splitButton.CommandName);
        }
    }

I hope this helps.
