Hi,

You will need to create an object that implements ITemplate, then assign that object to the ToolBarItem's CustomItem property. Make sure you do this at the early stage of the page's life cycle so that your controls are already there when view state kicks in.

Thanks!

Hi,

Your code is quite right except that you are creating your toolbar item too late. Try to move the code into Page_Init and see if that works for you. You do not have to do anything special for server event to work correctly as long as you create your control early enough and create them exactly the same way every time. In fact this is exactly what .aspx does: ASP.NET creates the same control tree every time the same way based on the same .aspx file, then hand over that tree to your code to perform additional logics. Everything else just works because the control tree was created at very early stage of the page's life cycle and created the same way every time.

Thanks!

Hi,

We are not able to get it to work either. We will look into it and get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks!

I am still having issues.
1) I had to put the check (!IsPostBack) around regular ToolBarItem items and add the CustomItem always. Otherwise the regular ToolBarItem items get added on every postback.
2) My html markup has right padding to the ToolBarItem. On every postback, the items are shifted to the left by the number of pixels mentioned in the padding.
3) How do I attach the event handler in the ITemplate class and how should the event be implemented in the aspx page?

Note: I have changed the name of the class CustomToolBarItemTemplate to CheckBoxToolBarItemTemplate.

Here is the markup and the code -

<eo:ToolBar ID="ItemHeaderToolBar" runat="server" Width="300px" AutoPostBack="True"
TextAlign="Right">
<NormalStyle CssText="padding-right:10px;" />
<HoverStyle CssText="cursor:pointer;padding-right:10px;" />
</eo:ToolBar>

public class CheckBoxToolBarItemTemplate : ITemplate
{
private string _Label;

public CheckBoxToolBarItemTemplate(string label)
{
_Label = label;
}

public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
{
//Add a DIV around the checkbox and also calls
//eo_CancelBubble when the div is clicked
container.Controls.Add(
new LiteralControl("<div onclick='eo_CancelBubble(event);'>"));

CheckBox cb = new CheckBox();
cb.AutoPostBack = true;
cb.Text = _Label;
cb.TextAlign = TextAlign.Right;
container.Controls.Add(cb);

//Close the div element
container.Controls.Add(
new LiteralControl("</div>"));
}
}

public bool ShowCreateRings
{
get
{
return ViewState["ShowCreateRings"] == null ? false : Convert.ToBoolean(ViewState["ShowCreateRings"]);

}

public bool ShowLikeSku

Hi,

I don't get the Visible property on the ToolBarItem.

ItemHeaderToolBar.Items[1].Visible = false;

Are you sure this property is available? This was my original idea but since the property was not available I thought of building the toolbar dynamically.

Thanks

I am using EO 2008, assembly version 6.0.49.2.

Can we have your new version and my old version running on the same machine? Where can I get your version for download? I am not sure if we have license for the latest version. Please advise.

We bought our license sometime in 11/2008 with 12 month free upgrades. I believe we are eligible for 2009 version. Could you please provide the link to download the 2009 version?

How can the same be done for default ToolBarItem added in design time?

This would work for ToolBarItem of type Custom.
ToolBar1.Items[1].CustomItem = CheckBoxToolBarItemTemplate();

Thanks!
