dialog_event_handler

Client side event handler for all dialog events.

Note: This is a prototype, not a function. You should provide a function that matches this prototype if you wish to handle the corresponding event on the client side. The prototype provides information about the arguments and return value of the function you provide.

Syntax
JavaScript
Copy
 dialog_event_handler(dialog, arg)

Parameters

dialog
The Dialog object that triggered this event.
arg
This parameter contains different information for different handlers:
Event Handler Remarks
ClientSideOnInitDialog The initData parameter when show was called.
ClientSideOnEnd The dialog result.
Other Events The DOM event object.

Return Value

This function can return:

Return Value Remarks
false Cancel the source event. As a result the dialog stays open.
0 Only valid for ClientSideOnAccept. Return this value to indicate the dialog should not close, but the source event should not be canceled either. This is useful to allow a multiple-line TextBox in the dialog to accept enter key because by default, enter key closes the dialog. Returning false can prevent the dialog from closing but it also prevents the TextBox control from receiving the enter key.
All other return values. Ignored.

Remarks

This is a prototype, not a function. You should provide this function if you wish to handle client side events raised by a Dialog object.
