[Solved] Whole row as link?

[Thomas]

Hi,

is it possible to make a whole row in a grid a hyperlink?
So when the user moves the mouse over thr row, no matter in what field, he can click the whole row and is redirected?

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards

Hello Thomas,

Set the ClientSettings  -> EnablePostBackOnRowClick property to True in order to fire the ItemCommand on clicking the row. Now in the ItemCommand event, check for the CommandName whether it is "RowClick" and perform the action based on the row clicked,

Hello Shinu,

thank you very much for your quick answer.

How can I now achieve to redirect to a page using an URL that is the value of one of the columns in the row?
The column is called "Artikelnummer" and is filled from a database:

<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextField="Artikelnummer" DataNavigateUrlFields="Artikelnummer, Warengruppe" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="details.aspx?Artikelnummer={0}&Kategorie={1}" HeaderText="Artikelnummer">
    <ItemStyle Width="110px" />
</telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>

Can I set a CommandArgument?

Thanks again for your help

Best regards

I managed to (kind of) sort this:

Protected Sub RadGrid_Suchresultate_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid_Suchresultate.ItemCommand
    If e.CommandName = "RowClick" AndAlso TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
        e.Item.Selected = True
        Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)
        Dim str_Artikelnummer As String = dataItem("Artikelnummer").Text
        Dim str_Warengruppe As String = dataItem("Warengruppe").Text
        Response.Redirect(str_Artikelnummer & str_Warengruppe)
    End If
End Sub

It the Grid Column is a GridHyperlinColumn, I can't access the Text property, also not the assigned NavigateURL, so I have to do it that way. Is there a way to do retrieve the NaviagateURL from a GridHyperlinColumn in the ItemCommand event?

Thanks

Seems like that can't be done.

Hello Thomas,

You can add the navigate URL fields to the DataKeyNames collection of the master table:

<telerik:RadGrid>
    <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="Artikelnummer, Warengruppe">
    <MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

Now you can get the data key values for the clicked item in ItemCommand and build the same url you have in your GridHyperlinkColumn:

Protected Sub RadGrid_Suchresultate_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid_Suchresultate.ItemCommand
    If e.CommandName = "RowClick" AndAlso TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
        e.Item.Selected = True
        Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)
        Dim str_Artikelnummer As String = (string)dataItem.GetDataKeyValue("Artikelnummer");
        Dim str_Warengruppe As String = string)dataItem.GetDataKeyValue("Warengruppe");
        Response.Redirect(String.Format("details.aspx?Artikelnummer={0}&Kategorie={1}", str_Artikelnummer, str_Warengruppe))
    End If
End Sub

All the best,
