Setting Event Handlers via JavaScript

The RadToggleButton API exposes client-side methods to attach and detach function to its events. They can be used as alternatives to the server-side properties for handling events.

To handle the desired event, you can use the respective add_(handlerFunction) to attach the desired handler (i.e., add_clicked for the clicked event), where the parameter handlerFunction should be of type function. To remove the handler that has been added previously, the respective remove_(handlerFunction) should be used.

Here are examples showing how to add and remove handlers on the client:

Example 1: Adding a named (non-anonymous) JavaScript click handler to a RadToggleButton.

ASP.NET

<script type="text/javascript">
	function Click(button, args)
	{
		alert("Button was clicked");
	}
	function addHandler()
	{
		var toggleButton = $find("<%=RadToggleButton1.ClientID %>");
		toggleButton.add_clicked(Click);
	}
</script>

Example 2: Adding an anonymous JavaScript click handler to a RadToggleButton.

ASP.NET

<script type="text/javascript">
	function Click(button, args, arg1)
	{
		alert("Button was clicked. arg1: " + arg1);
	}
	function addHandler()
	{
		var toggleButton = $find("<%=RadToggleButton1.ClientID %>");
		toggleButton.add_clicked(function (button, args) { Click(button, args, "Value1") });
	}
</script>

Example 3: Removing a JavaScript click handler from a RadToggleButton.

JavaScript

function removeEvents()
{
    var toggleButton = $find("<%= RadToggleButton1.ClientID %>");
    toggleButton.remove_show(Click);
}
