Filter template with RegisterClientScript

[Mathew]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a custom filter template with a RadComboBox, which I have been able to do.  I'm now attempting to extend that with the use of checkboxes for multiple selection, however I'm having trouble with the javascript.  The grid and the combo are both created dynamically in code-behind, and doesn't contain any markup.

I have seen some of the examples here, including the one below to find a control:

var combo = $find("<%= RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");

My question really is how to do exactly as above, but using ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock.  Obviously I can't use the markup evalutate functions (<%=) but whenever I try doing $find("RadComboBox.ClientId") I get a null or undefined error.  Any help?

Thanks,
Mathew

Hello Mathew,

When you are creating controls dynamically, one suggestion is you can pass the ClientID(RadComboBox1.ClientID)  from server side and access the controls via javascript.

Hi Shinu,

That's exactly what I was doing, but because I was calling the RegisterClientScript method before the page PreRender, the client IDs of the control weren't set correctly.

I'm now having some trouble presisting values in the Filter Template - when I perform a postback the value is always null, even if something has been selected.  This was working properly before I moved the controls into the template, and I'm beginning to think that I'm going to have to resort to more JavaScript here because values from the controls don't seem to presist ever?
