Grid Toolbar

[John]

I have a grid and I added a custom button, I want that button to call a function in my controller and pass the selected value in my dropdownlist. I can get it to call the controller correctly but I can't get the additional data I need to be sent as well.

.ToolBar(commands => commands.Custom().HtmlAttributes(new { id = "SendEmailStatements" })
    .HtmlAttributes(new { @CLASS = "sendBtn" })
    .Text("Send")
    .Action("SendBuyerEmailStatements", "Home", new { DayendCycle = SelectedDayendCycle})
)

SelectedDayendCycle is a javascript function that will return the selected item from the dropdownlist but it isn't recognized.
I was hoping I could do the same thing I do in the grid.

.Read(read => read.Action("BuyerEmailStatementsGrid_Read", "Home").Data("SelectedDayendCycle")

Hi John,

I am afraid the described behavior cannot be achieved with the provided syntax, because you can't pass a Javascript function reference in the server-side Action() fluent method.

What you can do is attach a click (mousedown) handler to the custom toolbar button client-side, retrieve the necessary data and then call the controller's action method with Javascript POST/GET.
