How can I get the UniqueName of the RadDock, from within a Custom Close comm

[Brent Hetland]

Hi,

I'm using 2013.2.717 of the ASP.NET for AJAX controls.

I'm using the RadDock control and I have implemented a custom DockCommand for Closing a Dock.

Q.  In my javascript function that runs when the user closes a Dock, how can I get the dock's UniqueName property?

The only thing I see that gets it is:  sender._uniqueName

While that works for now, it seems like since that is a "private field", Telerik could change it without notice and break my application...  So, using that line of code seems dangerous.

Isn't there a way "more supported way" to get the Dock object's UniqueName property from javascript?

Thanks,
Brent

Hi Brent,

There is a getter function get_uniqueName() that will allow you to retrieve the UniqueName of the docks without using the private field. It appears that this function is missing from the client-side API help article of RadDock. It will be included with the next updates of the documentation.

Thanks Much!  I had quickly looked through the object's methods while debugging, but I must have missed it....
