unable to locate radwindow object from radgrid_itemcommand event

[Manisha Shivjiani]

Hi,
I am having issue accessing radwindow object. I am trying access it during radgrid_itemcommandobject.
My javascript function - as shown in the code below - "ShowDutyWindowClient" fails when it tries to get the radwindowmanager. Radwindowmanger object returns null.
I would appreciate help with this.

Thanks,
Manisha

Here is my code

//Usercontrol – codebehind


protected void rgDuty_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
            switch (e.CommandName)
            {
                case RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName:
                    e.Canceled =true;
                    long positionDescriptionID = CurrentPDID;
                    script = string.Format("ShowDutyWindowClient('{0}','{1}');", "Insert", positionDescriptionID);
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript (this,this.GetType (),"showdutywindowClient" ,script,true  );
                    break;

              case RadGrid.EditCommandName :
                    e.Canceled = true;
                    gridItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
                    int dutyID = int.Parse(gridItem.GetDataKeyValue("DutyID").ToString());
                    script = string.Format("ShowDutyWindowClient('{0}','{1}');", "Edit", dutyID);
     ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript (this,this.GetType (),"showdutywindowClient" ,script,true  );
                    break;
 default:
                    RGQualEnabled = true;
                    break;
            }
        }
}

Hello Manisha,

It seems you are performing a full postback from the grid, so the RadWindowManager is disposed as well, then your JavaScript is executed too early and it is not yet initialized. This happens in the Sys.Application.Load event as explained in the following article, which I recommend you examine on injecting a script from the code-behind: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radwindow-troubleshooting-javascript-from-server-side.html. Another option is to use AJAX - wrap the grid in an UpdatePanel so that it is the only part of the page that is disposed.


Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Your solution worked. I ajaxified grid with radAjaxManager and called the Js function from serverside and it worked.

Thanks,
