Server-side row click event

[LG]

Is it possible to detect a server-side event when the user clicks on a datagrid row regardless of wherever on the row area the click happens?

I simply want to take the user to a separate .aspx page when the click occurs and pass the row ID / primary key to the second page.

Thanks

You could always subscribe to the OnRowClick client-side event and open the page with the following function:

function openWindow(pageName)
{
    window.open(pageName);
}

Although for passing your ID/Key you would probably have to use hidden fields. You could, alternatively, just subscribe to the OnRowClick event and then set hidden fields equal to the row ID  / primary keys and then open the page through the code-behind instead of javascript.

Thanks for your reply but I'm trying to avoid the client-side approach, if I can.

With the following properties the RadGrid is able to highlight the entire row when I click on it. Why it doesn't trigger a server-side event?

<ClientSettings>
    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />
</ClientSettings>

<SelectedItemStyle BackColor="Fuchsia" BorderColor="Purple" BorderStyle="Dashed" BorderWidth="1px" />

 

 
It seems like we are half way there.

Hi RJ,

You can set the EnablePostBackOnRowClick property  to  true to trigger a postback on clicking a row .

 

<ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
<Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
</ClientSettings>

You can check for this in the ItemCommand

 

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "RowClick")
        {

        }
    }

Thanks,

Thanks, Princy!! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Here is the complete solution for others:

<telerik:RadGrid ShowGroupPanel="false" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
    ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowMultiRowSelection="false"
    Height="578px" Width="99%"
    ShowFooter="False" onitemcommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand">
    <PagerStyle Mode="NumericPages" />
    <MasterTableView TableLayout="Fixed">
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="RowID" DataField="RowID" UniqueName="RowID" Visible="false">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

            .....

        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
    <ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
        <Scrolling AllowScroll="true" UseStaticHeaders="true"></Scrolling>
        <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />
    </ClientSettings>
</telerik:RadGrid>

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{

    switch (e.CommandName)
    {
        case "RowClick":
            GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
            Response.Redirect("~/Detail.aspx?id=" + dataItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Text);
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

}
