Hyperlink In Grid Column When Using RowClick Command

[Shawn]

I have a grid that uses the row click command to open a NestedView like so:

If e.CommandName = "RowClick" Then
            Dim item As GridDataItem = e.Item
            If item.Expanded = True Then
                item.Expanded = False
            Else
                item.Expanded = True
            End If
        End If

But I also Have a column that I want to display an email address in and have that clickable as well.  When I click it now it still only opens the row instead of redirecting the page like so:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="email" HeaderText="Email Address"
            SortExpression="email" UniqueName="email">
            <ItemTemplate>
            <a href='message_center.aspx?record=<%# Eval("record") %>'><asp:Label ID="emailLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("email") %>'></asp:Label></a>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

How can I achieve this?

Hi Shawn,

I was also able to replicate this issue on my end. From my understanding the RowClick event is getting fired on clicking the hyperlink as well. So one possible workaround was to identify whether clicked element is a row or a hyperlink and then cancel the RowClick event accordingly. But telerik themselves had pointed out in their help article that the RowClick event cannot be cancelled. I hope telerik can shed some light on this issue.
