Opening a RadWindow from a RadGrid item click?

[Miklos]

Hi,

Is it possible to open a RadWindow when I click an item on the RadGrid even by adding a link inside? I did have a solution but it reloads the page and its very sloppy.

The way I did it was that I added the following in my aspx:

 <telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextFormatString="Edit Item"
        avigateUrlFields="country_id" UniqueName="country_id"         DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~/admin/AdmCountries.aspx?edit_id={0}"
                        HeaderText="Edit Item" DataTextField="country_id" >
        </telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>

then I updated my codebehind's OnPageLoad like this:
           
       

string editID = Request.QueryString["edit_id"];  if (editID != null) {   RadWindowManager1.Windows[0].VisibleOnPageLoad = true; } else {   RadWindowManager1.Windows[0].VisibleOnPageLoad = false; }

So essentially reloading the page with the ID parameter and if it is set then the window is displayed. What I would like instead is not to have a postback, rather displaying the window with a given ID, maybe using AJAX.

I am new to this great product and would like to get the hang of it, please help.

Thanks,
Miklos

Hello Miklos,

I believe that the Window Editing demo will be of help. Please use the code as a base and extend it further to fit your requirements.

The example is really unhelpful.  Where does the ShowEditForm() js function ever get referenced in an onclick call from the Hyperlink object?

Hello Darin,

The onclick event is attatching from code behind. Check the DefaultCS.aspx.cs page also from the demo.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                HyperLink editLink = (HyperLink)e.Item.FindControl("EditLink");
                editLink.Attributes["href"] = "#";
                editLink.Attributes["onclick"] = String.Format("return ShowEditForm('{0}','{1}');", e.Item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[e.Item.ItemIndex]["EmployeeID"], e.Item.ItemIndex);
            }
        }

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Shinu.
