OnClientTileSelecting

The OnClientTileSelecting event is raised just before a tileis selected. It is cancellable and precedes the OnClientTileSelected event. If it is cancelled the OnClientTileSelected event is not raised.

This event can be used to prevent selection based on a certain criteria (e.g. information for the tile that is about to be selected). Cancelling this event will prevent the postback and the selection.

The event handler receives two arguments:

1. the RadTileList object that fired the event

2. an event arguments object that exposes the following methods

OnClientTileSelecting event arguments object

Name	Return type	Arguments	Description
get_cancel()	bool		Gets a value that indicates whether the event is cancelled.
get_tile()	RadBaseTile client-side object		Gets a reference to the tile that is about to be selected.
get_value()	bool		Returns true if the tile is selected.
set_cancel(value)		bool	Sets whether the event will be cancelled (if true is passed).

The following example shows how to get information about a tile using the OnClientTileSelecting event of the RadTileList. Note that the event is cancellable and that selection is performed by right-clicking on a tile.

JavaScript

	</Groups>
</telerik:RadTileList>

<script type="text/javascript">
	function OnClientTileSelecting(tileList, args) {
		var tile = args.get_tile();
		var response = confirm(String.format("Toggle the selection of {0}?", tile.get_name()));
		if (!response) {
			args.set_cancel(true);
		}
	}
