PanelBar button click help, serverside

[RageMonkeyRage]

I have a page which is based on a master page.  On this page I have placed a panel bar.  Inside a panel,  I have a button.  After going through the forums, I have found that

 

 

 Private Sub RadPanelBar1_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelBarEventArgs) Handles RadPanelBar1.ItemClick     Dim ItemClicked As Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelItem = e.Item   Response.Write( "Server event raised -- you clicked: " + ItemClicked.Text)     End Sub

Should fire when the button is clicked (unless I misunderstood something).  It doesn't; it reloads the masterpage. Please help as I am lost as to why I cannot capture this.  Also Note that I want to do everything server side, unless impossible to do so, which is the exception in my application.  Here is some simplified code to Illustrate my issue:

 

 

 

 

 

<%@ Page Title="" Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/Pages/WorkPlanProject.Master" CodeBehind="TestButtonInPanel.aspx.vb" Inherits="WQS_Presentation.TestButtonInPanel" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root">
            <ItemTemplate><asp:Button ID="button" runat="server" /></ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadPanelItem>
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadPanelBar>
</asp:Content>

And the code behind:

Public Partial Class TestButtonInPanel
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub RadPanelBar1_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelBarEventArgs) Handles RadPanelBar1.ItemClick
        Dim ItemClicked As Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelItem = e.Item
        Response.Write("Server event raised -- you clicked: " + ItemClicked.Text)
    End Sub
End Class

This code never fires - the master page is reloading when the button gets clicked.  What is the correct way to do this (serverside)?

Hello Peter,

ItemClick event is not fired, because there is an item template in "Root" item. You should either subscribe to OnClick event of the button:

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Button ID="button" runat="server" OnClick="button_click" /></ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

or use ContentTemplate instead (please note that it's available since Q2 2010 release):

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root">
            <ContentTemplate>
                    <asp:Button ID="button" runat="server" ></ContentTemplate>
        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

- in this case ItemClick event will be fired when "Root" is clicked.
