Image Manager w/o Insert

[Albert Shenker]

I am using a custom dialog to implement the ImageManager as a standalone file manager for images (outside of RadEditor). I have hidden both the "Insert" button of the FileBrowser UserControl and the "Properties" tab of the ImageManager UserControl. However, if a user double clicks on an image, it still assuems they are trying to insert the image in some content and this results in the ImageManager dialog closing. Is there a way to disable the double click for files within the FileBrowser control in my custom dialogs?

Hi Albert,

You can use the OnClientFileOpen event of RadFileExplorer to cancel the file insertion in the content area:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="FileExplorer1" Width="450" EnableCopy="true"
    OnClientFileOpen="OnClientFileOpen">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/Images" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientFileOpen(sender, args) {
        if (!sender.get_selectedItem().isDirectory()) {
            args.set_cancel(true);
        }
    }
</script>

The FileExplorer is available in the FileBrowser.ascx file.

in 2012 Q2 SP1, the rad dialog still closes even if I cancel the OnClientFileOpen

any work arounds?

Hi,

Yes, this is the default behavior of the File Browser dialogs of RadEditor and we do not plan to disable it. To avoid the dialog closing, you should handle the OnClientFileOpen event as shown in my earlier post.
