Return value to parent window using codebehind?

[Laura]

I have created a wizard using rad window. My parent window opens a modal window when the user clicks a button to add users to the system. The wizard has 3 pages and on the last page I have a save button. That button has an onclick event and an onclientclick event. I see that the client event occurs first. In the server click code, an order ID is generated that needs to be sent to the parent window to rebind my radgrid using that order id. If the client onclick occurs first, is there anyway to set the window arg to the order id on the server code behind? If not, is there any what that the code behind can be called after the client code?

Thanks,
Laura

Hello Laura,

You can call the JavaScript code from the server, by outputting a JavaScript function, e.g. not to use the OnClientClick event. More information on how to call JavaScript code from the server is available in various sites in the Net. You can also check the following KB article that shows how to call radalert() in such scenario - the logic is the same:

Thank you Georgi. I was successful in getting this to work. Only problem now is I also have another button(back button) on the page, and that button also has both the onclientclick and onclick calls. I don't care in what order they perform, so I would like to leave it the way it is. Only problem is that since I introduced the javascript call in the c# for the save button, the back button does not execute the javascript.

So I changed this second button to also only work on the server and when the button is clicked, my page refreshes, and redraws the page, and then goes back to the previous page. Why would it redraw?  Here is my code:


 <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" Runat="server">
    </telerik:RadScriptManager>
    
     <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">  
      <ClientEvents OnRequestStart="centerUpdatePanel();" />
                <AjaxSettings>
                    <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="backButton">

                    <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="SAVEBUTTON">

Hello Laura,

I believe that the problem is that the code is added to Sys.Application.Load() but is not removed after that. Try the approach that is shown in this forum post:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/window/radalert-problem-in-a-postback.aspx#666452

And if the problem still persist, please prepare a small sample project where the problem can be reproduced and send it to us in a support ticket - we will check it right away.
