RadCalendar: Button events within cell are not firing.

[Grant]

Hello,

My original post for this question was in the RadnControls for ASP.NET forums, but it wasn't getting responses so I have decided to paste it here.  I am using the ASP.NET Ajax version of the calendar.  Please view the following thread to other correspondence to this issue: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bgmttm.aspx

In the example below I am adding a button to every cell of the calendar using the OnDayRender event.  The problem I am having is that the button click event is not being fired when the button is clicked.  Instead, the OnSelectionChanged event of the RadCalendar is being fired.  Is it possible to add asp controls to the RadCalendar cells and catch their click events?  I attempted to use the code formatter, but it was flaking out so I just pasted the code below.  Thank you in advance for any replies.

Hi Grant,



Because the DayRender event is raised while the RadCalendar control is being rendered, you cannot add a control that can also raise an event, such as LinkButton. You can only add static controls, such as System.Web.UI..::.LiteralControl, Label, Image, and HyperLink.

All the best,
