Using RADTOOLBAR Custom Button in RADFILEEXPLORER server-side

[Ajay]

Hi Telerik !

I using an RADFILEEXPLORER in my project.
I have added an custom button named "ARCHIVE" (that I want it to work like Iam archiving an folder/file) using an RadToolBarButton class.

Since all your methods to MOVE, CREATE, DELETE file & directory are OVERRIDEN methods in CustomFileSystemProvider.cs.
i.e. For example : For COPY DIRECTORY method :-

public override string CopyDirectory(string virtualSourcePath, string virtualDestPath)
    {
     } 

Please suggest how to implement the same feature for "ARCHIVE" folder/file.

How to get the parameters for the above mentioned method in case of "ARCHIVE FILE".

Upto now , I have proceded as :-

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        string eventArg = Request["__EVENTARGUMENT"];
        if (eventArg == "Archive")
        {
            Archive();
        }

        string DocumentPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DocumentPath"].ToString() + "SharedDocuments\\";
        string[] viewPaths = new string[] { DocumentPath };
        string[] uploadPaths = new string[] { DocumentPath };
        string[] deletePaths = new string[] { DocumentPath };

        DocumentsRadFileExplorer.Configuration.ViewPaths = viewPaths;
        DocumentsRadFileExplorer.Configuration.UploadPaths = uploadPaths;
        DocumentsRadFileExplorer.Configuration.DeletePaths = deletePaths;
        //DocumentsRadFileExplorer.Configuration.SearchPatterns = new string[] { "*.txt" };
        DocumentsRadFileExplorer.Configuration.ContentProviderTypeName = typeof(CustomFileSystemProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName;
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            RadToolBarButton customButton = new RadToolBarButton("Archive");
            customButton.CssClass = "test_button";
            customButton.Value = "Archive";
            customButton.CommandName = "Archive";
            DocumentsRadFileExplorer.ToolBar.Items.Add(customButton);
            //context menu item
            RadMenuItem customMenuOption = new RadMenuItem("Archive");
            customMenuOption.Value = "custom_Menu";
            DocumentsRadFileExplorer.TreeView.ContextMenus[0].Items.Add(customMenuOption);
            //if you want the custom context menu item to be visible in the grid as well
            DocumentsRadFileExplorer.GridContextMenu.Items.Add(customMenuOption.Clone());
            //DocumentsRadFileExplorer.ToolBar.ButtonClick += new RadToolBarEventHandler(toolBar_ButtonClick);
        }
    }

    public void Archive()
    {
        string val = DocumentsRadFileExplorer.TreeView.SelectedNode.Value;

        FileSystem.ArchiveFolder();
    }

Please suggest that how can I pass the PARAMETERS that I have made STORED PROCEDURE at application end.

Please help !

Hello Ajay,

You can use a ajax panel with a button inside and simulate a click on this button when the user clicks the archive command on the toolbar. I am attaching a simple page that demonstrates how to do that.
