Hi,

its opening the new page in same window instead of setting Target="_blank" in GridHyperLinkColumn of Grid.
could you please help me how to open the link in new window from popup window having grid bound within it.

Hello Bharat,

You need to call a client method when clicking the link in the grid; for that attach "onclick" to the hyperlink. In the event handler, get refernce to RadWindow client object which shows the RadGrid. Use the GetRadWindow() method to get reference to client object of current window.

Now getting reference to the parent window is as easy as shown in code below.
     var oBrowserWnd = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;

After getting the browser-window object open the window using oBrowserWnd.open() method, to show standard window.

Feel free write again if you need further help.


Thanks,
Princy.

Hi thanks for your reply.

but i don't understand whatever you mention.
the column in grid is as..

<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn

                     SortExpression="Title"

                     DataNavigateUrlFields="StatusId" 

                     DataTextField="Title"

                     HeaderText="Event Title" 

                     DataType="System.String"

                     ItemStyle-BorderStyle="None"

                     ItemStyle-BorderWidth="0px"

                     AutoPostBackOnFilter="True"

                     Groupable="false"

                     DataNavigateUrlFormatString="../Task/Task.aspx?taskid={0}&ViewMode=ReadOnly"

                     ShowSortIcon="true"

                     AllowFiltering="true"

                     HeaderStyle-Width="150px"

                     FilterControlWidth="150px"

                     UniqueName="Title"

                     Target="_blank"

                     Visible="true">

                    </telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>

so could we attach onclick method here and where is the hyperlink onclick event.
please help me and let me know how to achieve this.

Hello Bharat,

To attach the 'onclick' client event to HyperLinkcolumn, access that control (rendered as HyperLink) from code behind. In that event handler execute the code for changing parent page url as described in the above forum post.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
       {
           GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
           HyperLink link = (HyperLink)item["Title"].Controls[0];
           link.Attributes.Add("onclick", "btnClick('" + link.NavigateUrl + "');return false;");
       }
   }

Java Script:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function btnClick(url) {
        var oBrowserWnd = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
        oBrowserWnd.open(url);
    }
    function GetRadWindow() {
        var oWindow = null;
        if (window.radWindow)
            oWindow = window.radWindow;
        else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)
            oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
        return oWindow;
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Princy.
