Open RadOpen from RadGrid

[RW]

I should preface this by saying I just inherited a website that uses Telerik and, well, I've never used them before, so please bear with me. Also, this site doesn't use any code behind pages...nothing I can do about that, so it might complicate some of your suggestions.

Anyway, I have a radgrid that is displaying user suggested features, and in the last column there is a GridHyperLinkColumn that links to a new page displaying more details on the feature request. Since any filtering or paging that has taken place gets wiped out upon going to that details page, I'd like to invoke a RadOpen call to display the details in a new window.

But, I can't seem to make that happen. How do you call a function from a RadGrid???

Here is the current RadGrid on the site (for what it's worth):

 

 

 

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
        DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" GridLines=None Skin="WebBlue" PageSize="50" Width=100%
        AllowFilteringByColumn=true ShowGroupPanel="True">
        <HeaderContextMenu EnableTheming="True" Skin="WebBlue">

        </HeaderContextMenu>
        <ClientSettings AllowColumnsReorder="True" ReorderColumnsOnClient="True" AllowDragToGroup="True">
            <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />

Hello,

One suggestion is using GridTemplateColumn with HyperLink  in ItemTemplate. And atatch the onclick handler to HyperLink from code behind, in ItemDataBound event.

Here is the demo which shows how to implement this : Window Editing


Now in the new window, show the details based on the passed parameter.

Thanks,
Princy.
