OnClose Event For PopUp Template?

[Jeremy Yoder]

In my grid, I have EditMode="PopUp" and EditFormType="Template". Works great, but I'd like to call a javascript function after the popup has saved/close and rebound/refreshed the grid with the new or edited row. Ideally, I'd like to assign it programmatically like I do with window popups via the add_close event method, but I'll take what I can get. Is there a way to do this?

Hello Jeremy,

I am afraid there is no special event fired when you close the popup edit form. To implement the desired functionality, you can use RadWindow for editing RadGrid records as demonstrated here.

I hope this helps.

I've coded a lot around the edit form, so it wouldn't be my first choice to switch to RadWindow. However, in the ItemDataBound, I found how I could reference the Panel that is the edit form (via .Parent) and then tried...

pnl.Attributes("onclick") = "alert('Panel clicked');"

It works for the Panel's onclick event, but I've not found an attribute for Panel such as onClose or onDisposed. Do you know if the panel itself has any attribute I could tie into that would do the trick?

Hello Jeremy,

In order to achieve the desired functionality, I suggest that you find the close button of the edit form  and handle its click. This can be done by handling the OnPopUpShowing client event in the following way:

function PopUpShowing(sender, eventArgs) {

    var popUp = eventArgs.get_popUp();
    popUp.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].href = "javascript:popUpClosing();" + " " + popUp.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].href.split(':')[1];

}

function popUpClosing() {

    //...

}

I hope this helps.

I was only now able to get back to this, and I'm glad to say your code worked great in getting a call to a javascript function from the window close button. I didn't follow it at first, but then I broke it down and saw what you did -- that's some pretty slick coding! :)

However, the grid still doesn't have time to rebind/refresh afterwards, but I'll definitely be using this code for other instances. So I'll revisit the grid rebind timing issue I'm having in a separate post after I dig a bit further into it. Thanks much!
