open in new window

[Sander Wijnen]

Hi,

is there a way to open a new browser window when the user clicks on a ribbon button?
Thnx.

Hi Sander Wijnen,

You can use the OnClientButtonClicking client-side event and open a new window by applying the following javascript function (please take a look at this demo where the described approach is exemplified):

function OnClientButtonClicking(sender, args) {
        window.open("http://www.telerik.com", "WindowPopup", "width=400px, height=400px, resizable");
                }

Best wishes,

How can I get the ID from the button to check if this is the button to start a new window?

function

 

 

OnClientButtonClicking(sender, args) {

 

var button = args.get_button();

 

var text = button.tostring;

alert(text);

 

if (text == "btnOpenWebsite") {

window.open(

 

http://www.telerik.com, "WindowPopup", "width=400px, height=400px, resizable");

}

}

Hello Sander,

You can find a button by text using the following javascript function:

<script type="text/javascript">
        function OnClientButtonClicking(sender, args) {
            var button = args.get_button();
            if (button.get_text() == "New") {
                window.open("http://www.telerik.com", "WindowPopup", "width=400px, height=400px, resizable");
            }
        }
    </script>

thnx, is there also an function to get the UniqueID ? because that's safer to use, with all the button texts.

Hi Sander ,

We have not implemented such function but you can easily assign unique values to the buttons and use the get_value() client-side function in order to get the needed element.
