Tool Bar In CommandItemTemplate

[HarryS]

Hi,

I seem to have a simple issue that I can't fix!

I have a RadToolBar within a RadGrid CommandItemTemplate.
When clicking any tool bar button, the functionality works fine but the state (ie: Checked) is lost.

When the button is clicked, the datatable is filtered, then I recall DataBind() then the tool bar button resets to the 'off' state.
Snippet below,

Any ideas for a quick fix?

Thanks,
Harry

  <CommandItemTemplate>
           <div class="filterEvents1">
<telerik:RadToolBar ID="tbButtons" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="false" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false"   OnButtonClick="RadToolBar1_ButtonClick" EnableViewState="true" AutoPostBack="false" >
<Items>
<telerik:RadToolBarButton  CheckOnClick="true" ImageUrl="~/images/ico-all-inactive.png" Group="showAll"
CheckedImageUrl="~/images/ico-all-active.png" height="19px" Checked="false"  CommandName="showAll"  />

I've still had no joy fixing this!!

To clarify what is happening;
When a toolbar button is clicked, then the grid is refreshed with an up-to-date DataTable, then I call grdEvents.Databind().

When the grid is bound again, then the toolbar item loses it's 'checked' status.
Anyone know how I can stop this happening please!!!

Thanks,
H

Sample of the codebehind that is being called!

protected void RadToolBar1_ButtonClick(object sender, RadToolBarEventArgs e)
    {
        RadToolBarButton btnBloodGlu = e.Item as RadToolBarButton;
        string ClickedText = btnBloodGlu.CommandName.ToString();
        GridFilterButtons(ClickedText);
        btnBloodGlu.Checked = true;
    }

    public void GridFilterButtons(string filterName)
    {
        DataTable tableFiltered = rawJournalFilteredData.JournalViewDataFiltered(filterName);
        grdEvents.DataSource = tableFiltered;
        grdEvents.Rebind();
    }

Hi Harry,

The described behavior is expected in such scenarios. The only option for avoiding it is to use the ToolBar ButtonClick event and keep the checked status in the ViewState. After that you could retrieve this status in the ToolBar PreRender event.
I hope this helps.

Why is this the expected behavior?

Many times, we use the ToolBar in the CommandItemTemplate of a Grid but have to manually remain state.   It would be a nice feature if it was automatic.

Thanks.

Hello,

When the RadGrid is additionally bind on specific action it could not keep its previous state automatically. Therefore you should kept the needed settings in the ViewState.
