Hi There,
I would like to use eo:Dialog to capture some requirements prior to running a query and showing a grid with the results.
As a starting point I am trying to use the example that comes with EO called "Content and Footer Template" and these are my stummbling points.
I would like the dialog to show straight away without having to click the hyperlink for showing modal or not.
I need to be able to trap the button click prior to it closing the dialog so I can collect the choices made in the dialog.
Is that doable?
Thanks for any help you can give, I appreciate it.
Best Regards,
Steve.

Hi,
If you do not wish to use a link or button to display the dialog, you can set the dialog's InitialState to Visible to display the dialog.
The dialog automatically closes when the page posts back. So if you want to avoid dialog being closed, you need to avoid the page being posted back. That means you either have to handle your click event on the client side, or handle it on server side via AJAX.
Thanks!

Hi There,
Thanks for the reply.
Ok I can now get the dialog to show straight away by using the initialstate but how do I trap the dialog ok button.
If I turn on AcceptButtonPostback the form does postback but does not close. If I turn it off the form closes but I cannot get the choices made in the dialog form.
Any help with this would be really appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve.

Hi,
You would usually need to use AJAX for that kind of situation. This actually does not have anything to do with the dialog --- your goal is trigger server event without raising a full post back and that's exactly what AJAX does.
Thanks!

Hi,
No. As we have already pointed out, that part does not have anything to do with us. You can Google online and you should be able to find out plenty of information about AJAX.
Thanks
