RadButton .click() Isn't calling OnClientClicking

[Fergal]

Hi.

I have a radbutton that is hooked up with the OnClientClicking event to a Javascript function. Inside this function, I'm calling radConfirm, and passing it a callback function. Within this callback function, I am evaluating the response, and then calling the .click() method in order to restart the process.

I'm expecting the .click() method to re-call the OnClientClicking event (which has logic to handle the fact that it's being called again and, if necessary suppress the radconfirm). However, it doesn't appear like this is happening.

Am I doing something wrong?

<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="btnTest" OnClientClicking="clicking" />

var LastClickedItem = null;
var clickCalledfromConfirm = false;

function clicking(sender, args)
{
    if (!clickCalledfromConfirm)
    {
        args.set_cancel(true);
        LastClickedItem = sender;
        radconfirm("Are you sure you want to do this?", confirmCallBack);
    }
    else
    {
        args.set_cancel(false);
    }
}

function confirmCallBack(args)
{
    if (args)
    {
        clickCalledFromConfirm = true;
        LastClickedItem.click();
    }
}

Thanks

Hi Fregal,

The .click(); function executes programmatic button click. I have made some modifications in your code to call the OnClientClicking event.
JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var LastClickedItem = null;
    var clickCalledfromConfirm = false;
    var argnew;
    function clicking(sender,args) {
      argnew = args;
        if (!clickCalledfromConfirm) {
            args.set_cancel(true);
            LastClickedItem = sender;
            radconfirm("Are you sure you want to do this?", confirmCallBack);
        }
        else {
            args.set_cancel(false);
        }
    }
 function confirmCallBack(args) {
        if (args) {
  clickCalledFromConfirm = true;
 clicking(LastClickedItem, argnew);
        }
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks Princy, that was pretty much how I was getting around it here. I was just hoping that there was a neater method of doing it. Particularly when the functionality is inconsistent with a Menu Item click (which does call the clicking event).

Hi Fergal,

The client-side click method of RadButton accepts a Boolean parameter that specifies whether the clicking event will be fired. If you call it as shown below, your handler function clicking will be executed:

LastClickedItem.click(true);

The client-side API help article of RadButton will be updated accordingly, since currently it does not clarify what parameters should be passed to the click function.

Kind regards,
