[Solved] Rebind listbox upon Window close

[Steve]

Hi,

I was wondering if you had an example on how to rebind a listbox when a window is closed.  I can do it fine with RAD Grid using samples provided, but can't figure out how that can be applied to asp.net ListBox.

Thanks,

Marek

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I would like to do it as an AJAX-enabled rebind, not just regular postback.

Marek,

    Are you trying to reload a listbox on the parent page on window close?  If so then you can do the following:

//This code is used to provide a reference to the radwindow "wrapper"
function GetRadWindow()
{
   var oWindow = null;
   if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow; //Will work in Moz in all cases, including clasic dialog
   else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;//IE (and Moz az well)
   return oWindow;
}


function CloseOnReload()
{
   GetRadWindow().close();
}


function RefreshParentPageListBox()
{
   GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.refreshPageListBox();
}

refreshPageListBox() is a method on the parent page and in that method you can do a AjaxRequest to update any part of the page you want to.

Hope this helps...

Jason,

Thanks for your reply.  The parent page function is what I'm actually having a problem with.  I'm using the same exact method you have described to do a RadGrid rebind when a window is closed, but I simply can't figure out how to do an AJAX update on a non-Telerik control.  So what I'm actually asking for is therefreshPageListBox() function - I have no idea what should go in it.

Hi Marek,

I've just answered your support ticket on the same subject. For convenience I am pasting my reply below:

Generally speaking you can use the same approach with RadAjax as well. e.g. attach to the RadWindow's OnClientClose function and use the RadAjax Client-Side API to make an Ajax call that will do what you need.
