[Solved] Creating a hyperlink by using a "Find File" button or link...

[Chris]

I have a simple template column with a hyperlink in it:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter AMRLink column" HeaderText="AMR Link" UniqueName="AMRLink" FilterControlWidth="92%">
    <HeaderStyle Width="420px" />
        <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("AMRLink", "\\localserver.com\Department_Shares\Manufacturing\Engineering\GSIS AMR-MR\{0}") %>'
                                    Text='<%# Eval("AMRLink", "{0}") %>' Target="_blank"></asp:HyperLink>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EditItemTemplate>
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtAMRLink" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("AMRLink") %>' Width="98%" />
        </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

It works great - it links to the correct file, and I can edit/insert just fine.

The thing is, when the user inserts/edits, they have to type in a couple more folders depths plus the file name
(e.g., "Shift1\Testers\TestReport_03_25_2013.pdf").  The directory where the file may be located is not consistent, hence their need to type in the directory names.

So, is it possible to have them click on a button, navigate around to the correct file, select it, and have that file path saved as the new hyperlink?

Thanks ahead of time...

Hi,

 The GridAttachment column provides similar functionality. You can check it in the following demo:
