frames and navigation from a button

[Dan]

Can someone send me the exact steps to click on a button and target a frame named f2 to go to a url.

My menu (radribbonbar) is in frame f1.

I want to store the URI in the button somewhere in frame f1, and when I click on it, frame f2 updates and loads that URI.

I don't see any way to do this easily - this should be very easy to do.

Hello Dan,

You can store the ulr in the Value property of all action items (Button, SplitButton, ToggleButton, MenuItem etc.) and capture the appropriate click event client side and load the url in the iframe through JavaScript. Here is a list with the client-side events: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/ribbonbar-client-programming-basics.html

For those of you who wish to handle buttons which are in a separate frame from your menu, I wrote this:

<

 

 

telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">

 

<

 

 

script type="text/javascript">

 

<!--

 

 

function TabChanged(sender, args) {

 

 

 

var fname = "f2"; // target bottom "working" frame

 

top.frames[fname].location.href = args.get_tab().get_value();

}

 

 

function ButtonClicked(sender, args) {

 

 

 

var fname = "f2"; // target bottom "working" frame

 

top.frames[fname].location.href = args.get_button().get_value();

}

-->

</

 

 

script>

 

</

 

 

telerik:RadCodeBlock>


which you can use as handlers in your ribbonbar:

 

 

 

<telerik:RadRibbonBar ID="RadRibbonBar1" runat="server"

 

 

 

onclientselectedtabchanged="TabChanged"

 

 

 

OnClientButtonClicking="ButtonClicked">
