SplitButton Double Click

[Ryan Grossman]

If I have a splitbutton and open the content menu first by clicking on the arrow and then click on the main button it doesnt execute the onclick event. I have to click it again in order to execute. Can the button be setup so that the main button always clicks the first time you click it regardless of if the context menu of the button is expanded first?

 

<telerik:RadButton EnableSplitButton="true" ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save Contact" OnClick="RadButton1_Click" OnClientClicked="OnClientClicked">
                </telerik:RadButton>
                <telerik:RadContextMenu ID="rmContextMenu1" runat="server" OnItemClick="RadMenu1_ItemClick" style="z-index: 1009" CollapseAnimation-Type="None" ExpandAnimation-Type="None">
                    <Items>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Save & Create New" Value="0">
                        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Run Spell Checker" Value="1">
                        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Cancel & Close" Value="2">
                        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                    </Items>
                </telerik:RadContextMenu>

Hello Ryan,

I can suggest that you use the logic below to cancel the postback when the split button is clicked and execute postback when the button itself is clicked:

ASPX:

<script>
    function OnClientClicking(sender, args) {
        if (args.IsSplitButtonClick()) {
            args.set_cancel(true);
            alert('split button is clicked; no postback');
        }
        else {
            alert('button is clicked; postback will be performed');
        }
    }
</script>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Text="" runat="server" />
<telerik:RadButton EnableSplitButton="true" ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save Contact" OnClick="RadButton1_Click" OnClientClicking="OnClientClicking">
</telerik:RadButton>

C#:

protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
}

The above code works properly on my side. You can modify it according to your scenario (e.g., show the context menu when the split part is clicked).
