How to call an action from custom toolbar button

[Catherine]

Hi,

I was just wondering how to call an javascript function or controller action from a custom toolbar button on the grid. I notice that there's no .Action() or .Url(), ext attributes in the core html helpers.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there Catherine. You can give this a shot:

.ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Custom().Text("CustomCommand").HtmlAttributes(new { onclick = "customCom()" });

function customCom(e) {
        alert("Clicked!");
    }

 

Hope it helps.

Thanks Jason! I forgot the parentheses after the name of the function, which is why I couldn't get that to work...
