Updating RadDock Title on PostBack

[Deepshikha]

Hi,

I have a RadDock that has a user control inside it. The control is embedded in a RadAjaxPanel. The rough structure is something like this

<telerik:RadDock id="xxxxx"..........................>
<ContentTemplate>
     <telerik:RadAjaxPanel id="xxxx"......................>
         <Usercontrol:Mycontrol   Id="xxx" runat="server" onButtonClick="Button_Click"............ />
     </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>
 </contentTemplate>
</telerik:RadDock>


Whenver the Button_Click event is fired, I want the RadDock title to be updated.
Is there a way we could achieve this ?

Hello Deepshikha,

One way (not necessarily the best way - just to give you an idea) of doing this is handling the OnResponseEnd (ClientEvents-OnResponseEnd) client-side event of the RadAjaxPanel and using the dock's set_title(Title) client side method to update the Title of the RadDock. You can pass the value from the server through a HiddenField inside the panel and setting the dock title to the HiddenField. Please note that you also need to update the RadDock.Title property on the server in order for the new title to be persisted in the ViewState.

I have created a sample project based on the above explained scenario. You can find it attached to the thread.

Best wishes,

Despite being in the documentation, it would appear that set_title is no longer a valid method for raddock, certainly not in Q1 2012.

"Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'set_title'"

Anu suggestions?

My bad!

I changed my code from

function dock2Title(docktitle) {
     var oDock = document.getElementById('<%= rd2.ClientID %>');
     oDock.set_title(docktitle);
 }

to

 

function dock2Title(docktitle) {
    var oDock = $find('<%= rd2.ClientID %>');
    oDock.set_title(docktitle);
}

and it now works fine.
