Invoke FileExplorer commands from custom button

[Andreas]

Hi,

I'm building my own custom "toolbar" (it's not a RadToolBar) on a page containing a FileExplorer, amongst other things. From that custom toolbar, I'd like to invoke some of the built in commands in FileExplorer.

So, as an example, when clicking my own custom "New Folder" button, it does the exact same thing as the New Folder toolbar button does in FileExplorer: Opens up the FileExplorers _own_ 'New Folder' dialog.

I would like to be able to do this for 'New Folder', 'Delete', 'Upload', and the rest of the built in commands in FileExplorer.

It it doable?

Thank you,
Best regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

You can use these commands in order to implement your scenario:

<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="RadScriptBlock1" runat="server">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function openUpload()
        {
            var oExplorer = $find("<%= RadFileExplorer1.ClientID %>");
            var uploadItem = oExplorer.get_gridContextMenu().findItemByValue("Upload"); // use the contextmenu's Upload command
            uploadItem.click();
        }

        function callDelete()
        {
            var oExplorer = $find("<%= RadFileExplorer1.ClientID %>");
            var uploadItem = oExplorer.deleteSelectedItems(); // http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radfileexplorer-client-side.html
            uploadItem.click();
        }

        function openCreateNewDirectory()
        {
            var oExplorer = $find("<%= RadFileExplorer1.ClientID %>");
            oExplorer.createNewDirectory(); // http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radfileexplorer-client-side.html
        }
    </script>
</telerik:RadScriptBlock>
