Email link closes grid and forwards to aspx page

[Kevin]

I had this problem before and never got and answer to it when i submitted a help ticket and now I am back to it becuase I have another case where I need to impliment it in a radgrid and cannot go back to a asp grid.  What is happening is that I need a link button or hyperlink button on a radgrid that when they click on it it opens in a new window a page to email personnel.  problem is when I do this it forwards the page to the email name or site in this case, need it to stay at grid and open a the email page and pass a variable to it.

   <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="MAC #">
                                            <ItemTemplate>
                                                <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkEmail" runat="server" CommandName="Email" CommandArgument='<% #Bind("intUserId") %>' text='<% #Bind("strMacNum") %>'
                                                ToolTip="Email the IMO"></asp:LinkButton>
                                            </ItemTemplate>
                                        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>


Right now its redirecting but i cannot have this, just needs to open the email page in another window while staying on grid page.

 If (e.CommandName = "Email") Then
            Dim RecordId As Integer = e.CommandArgument

            Response.Redirect("Email.aspx?Email=" & RecordId)

        End If

also tried this but no go, forwards the grid to email page.
 ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "OpenWin", "<script>openNewWin('" & url & "')</script>")

Hi Kevin,

Another approach is to access the LinkButton in the ItemDataBound event and attaching an 'OnClick' event to open the RadWindow.

VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
        Dim ditem As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
        Dim lnk As LinkButton = DirectCast(ditem.FindControl("lnkEmail"), LinkButton)
        Dim RecordId As Integer = Convert.ToInt16(lnk.CommandArgument)
        lnk.Attributes.Add("onclick", "OnClick('" + RecordId + "');return false;")
    End If
End Sub

Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClick(RecordID)
    {
        var oWnd = radopen("Email.aspx?Email=" + RecordID, null);
        oWnd.center();
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi,
Ok got past error by just makeing the integer a string, but now its run ita javscript error in that it says an object is expected.  its like its not finding the aspx page that I am calling.  I have it in my Admin folder under my directory which happens to be where the page is that a person is working on when they click the button,  i though it would find it but I get object expected error.

calls out this line
varoWnd = radopen("~/Admin/Email.aspx?Email=" + RecordID, null);
 even has as this
varoWnd = radopen("Email.aspx?Email=" + RecordID, null);

Hello,

I think you are not able to get windowmanager in your JS function.

Please check examples in below links.

Hi jayesh,

thanks for the help, so far i have gotten to this point, it is opening in window but I still get error of object doe snot support this property or method for this line.  Instead of radwin I am using the regular window.open which works but i would like in center of the page.

window.center();

 function OnClick(RecordID)
          {
              varoWnd = window.open("Email.aspx?Email=" + RecordID, null);
              window.center();
          }

Hello,

Set popup in center position

Get browser window size
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/browserwindow


Not : window.center(); : it is the radwindow's method
and you are open simple window so it is gives error/not working.

If you want to open radwindow then please check below link.

Hi,

Ok I got it working, using the radwindow, the problem now is that before my submit command or cancel command would close the window.  now they do not.  FYI i am using the aspx page in this rad window and they are link buttons, my send button still sends and email but it will not close the window.
