How to call clientside (javascript) function from a button type column click?

[Kalyani Mantripragada]

I have a grid column of button type:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType=ImageButton ImageUrl="images/Img_Del.gif"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

I want to tie the button click to a javascript function. Is this possible?
I want to do an AJAX call from this function to perform the delete operation and refresh the grid.

 

Appreciate a reply.

thanks

Hello Kalyani,


Attach OnCommand client event to RadGrid and check for the CommandName in the handler. Thus you can invoke the ajaxRequest if the CommandName matches the ButtonColumn CommandName.

Client code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnCommand(sender, args) {
        if (args.get_commandName() == "CustomDelete") {
            alert("OnCommand");
            // Invoke ajaxRequest to delete the row
            args.set_cancel(true); // Cancel the event
        }
    }
</script>

Mark-up: Set the CommandName for the column

<telerik:GridButtonColumn  CommandName="CustomDelete" ButtonType="ImageButton" ImageUrl="../Images/del.gif">
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>
