determine itemtype client-side

[Albert Shenker]

I need to loop through the items in my toolbar client-side and set some specific properties if the item is a button and based upon it's "Group" property. When  I Ioop through, how do I first determine if the item is a RadToolbarButton (and therefore has the get_group method available? There doesn't seem to be a get_ItemType client-side method.

Hi Albert,

Please use the following javasctipt code in order to find the type of the button:

function getItemType(button) {
    var type;
    var className = button.get_element().className;
    if (className.indexOf("rtbBtn") >= 0)
        type = "button";
    else if (className.indexOf("rtbDropDown") >= 0)
        type = "dropdown";
    else
        type = "splitbutton";
    return type;
}

you can use it like this:

var toolbar = $find("<%=RadToolBar1.ClientID %>");
var type = getItemType(toolbar.get_items().getItem(0));
