ModalPopUpExtender and Edit Form

[Alan]

Greetings,

I have a grid with edit mode set to EditForm.  In the form template, I have a template with a button.  When the user clicks the button, I'd like to launch a modal popup using the ModalPopupExtender.

To do this, I have to have the TargetControlId of the button.  The button is created at runtime. 

Any ideas on how to dynamically find the button or launch the popup?

Thanks.

Hi Alan,

I have implemented this on my end as shown below. Just give a try with this and see if it is helpful.

ASPX:

    <EditFormSettings EditFormType="template" >

                        <EditColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn1">
                        </EditColumn>
                        <FormTemplate>

                         <table runat="server" id="table1">
                           <tr>
                             <td>

                             </td>
                               <td>
                               <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1"   BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground"  OkControlID="LinkButton2"  CancelControlID="LinkButton3"  PopupControlID="Panel1" runat="server"   >
                               </cc1:ModalPopupExtender>
                               <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" >

                                  This is the Pop up text
                                <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server">Ok</asp:LinkButton>
                                <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" runat="server">Cancel</asp:LinkButton>
                              </asp:Panel>
                               </td>

                           </tr>
                         </table>

                     </FormTemplate>
                    </EditFormSettings>

CS:

  protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
           GridEditFormItem editform = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
           Button btn = new Button();

            //to add the button to the EditForm
           HtmlTable table = (HtmlTable)editform.FindControl("table1");
           table.Controls[0].Controls[0].Controls.Clear();
           table.Controls[0].Controls[0].Controls.Add(btn);
           btn.ID = "ButtonShow";
           btn.Text = "ShowPopup";

           //to  dynamically set the TargetControlID
           ModalPopupExtender modalpop = (ModalPopupExtender)editform.FindControl("ModalPopupExtender1");
           modalpop.TargetControlID = "ButtonShow";

        }
    }
