OnClientLoad does not fire when disabled

[Christian]

I can see that he OnClientLoad is not fired when Enabled="false" is set, if I change this to true its working like a charm, is this by design?

seems weird as the control should have a load event on the client either way, problem is i need to declare the editor as a variable to set the enabled state manually with JS.

 

var _editor;

function edtRotator_onClientLoad(editor, args) {
    _editor = editor;
}

$(".rotator-images").dblclick(function () {
    _editor.enableEditing(true);
     _editor.set_editable(true);
 });

PS, i know i could probably use $find statement to reference the clientid with Inline script tags but i prefer not to use inline JS but keeping all my JS in seperate files.

Hi Christian,

When the Editor's Enabled property is set to False its client-side object is not initialized, thus it is not possible to use any of the control's client-side functionality at this moment. The Enabled property of RadEditor is inherited from WebControl class, you can find more information on the matter here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.webcontrol.enabled(v=vs.110).aspx

In case you only want to hide the Editor, until an image from a Rotator is clicked, I would advise that you hide it via CSS style instead.
