[Solved] RadFileExplorer using with radgrid

[SonicImaging]

Hi,

I'm trying to incorporate the RadFileExporer inside my radgrid edit form to select a image.   I have it working with the open button in a grid templatecolumn and the Explorer.aspx file but I cant figure out how to get the file value back to the text field in the edit form.

In my grid page I added the OnFileSelected java but I relized that it wont be able to find the text control to set the value for saving back to the database.

So basiccly I want to have the textbox with the filename,  then a open button to select the file from explorer.aspx in a radwindow then have it put the filename value in the textbox in the edit form.

Are there any examples of this that I can look at?

Thanks
-Keith

Hi Keith,

Take a look at the following file explorer example: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/Editor/Examples/FileExplorer/FileSelectorDialog/DefaultCS.aspx

It should help you in your scenario.

Thanks,  yea that's the example I used which is running fine or runs fine on a regular webpage, but since im adding this to a editform in a radgrid to select the filename for a imagefield in my database.   I cant figure out how to get the filename value back into the editform field since the javascript can only change the textbox outside the radgrid

Thanks

Hello Keith,

One way to do this is to get the ClientID property of the box on the server and store it in a hidden field in your template or some JavaScript variable. Here is some code that could help you:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
  {
    GridEditFormItem editForm = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
    System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox textBox = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)editForm["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
    //use textBox.ClientID here
  }
}
