OnExportContent from RadEditor Fired !

[Krishna Samaga]

Hi ,
I am using RadEditor . I have implemented the event OnExportContent and is not being fired.
It was working previously . Here is the code

<

 

telerik:RadEditor ID="_radMergedContent" OnExportContent="_radMergedContent_ExportContent"

 

 

Width="500" Height="450" ToolsFile="~/CommonResources/PDFGeneratorTools.xml"

 

 

OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" runat="server">

 

 

<ExportSettings Pdf-FontType="Embed" Pdf-PageTopMargin="20" Pdf-PageBottomMargin="20"

 

 

Pdf-PageLeftMargin="20" Pdf-PageRightMargin="20" />

 

 

</telerik:RadEditor>

 

There is a button "Send Mail"and OnClick of which i set these values

_radMergedContent.ExportSettings.FileName = GetPDFFileName();

_radMergedContent.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow =

true;

 

_radMergedContent.ExportToPdf();

On execute of the above statement the method _radMergedContent_ExportContent
needs to be fired but does not happen .

Regards,
Kris

Hi Krishna,

I tried to reproduce the problem using the provided information but to no avail. In the provided sample code couple of items are missing - OnClientLoad event handler method, GetPDFFileName() server-side method. Could you please verify that these methods are executing correctly?

On a side note, if RadEditor is placed inside update panel this is an expected behavior - in OnExportContent event is fired on a postback. This is not RadEditor's limitation but a general ASP.NET requirement.

For your convenience I have attached my sample test page and this video demonstrates my test. Could you please modify the attached page to a point where the problem occurs and send it back?

Kind regards,

I am also having trouble firing off the exportcontent event for the radeditor within an update panel. Your solution does not show an update panel example. Can I not use the radeditor within an update panel? It fires the event fine in a test form not in an update panel. Can you supply an example? Thanks.

Hello Joe,

RadEditor's Export to PDF functionality cannot be ajaxified. This is because the Form element is modified during the procedure. In order to use ExportToPdf you need to trigger full postback. To achieve this you need to force Button1 to perform postback. You can find a detailed explanation and a solution in the following help article:
Force controls in ajaxified container to perform PostBack

Noticed this is in the documentation currently on the Telerik site for ExportContent event:

ExportContent	This event is raised before a file is deleted using the current content provider. The file delete will be canceled if you return false from the event handler.
FileDelete	This event is raised before a file is deleted using the current content provider. The file delete will be canceled if you return false from the event handler.

So apparently, according to Telerik, when the ExportContent is raised, the file your user has labored on is deleted.  Good luck with that.
