Confirming Delete for a asp:ButtonColum n in asp:datagrid..

[RSB]

Hi Everyone,
i am using a ASP: DataGrid control in the page and for each row i have a
Delete Button Column. Every thing works fine.
But now i want to add a Java script confirmation check for the user that
Delete has been selected and are they sure to continue.

I have already used this Attributes.Add (
cmdDelete.Attri butes.Add("onCl ick", "return confirmDelete() ;")

)

command for a Single delete button on the page but don't understand how to
add some thing same for the dataGrid Button.

Please help.

Thanks
RSB

For the template column...

<asp:TemplateCo lumn>
<ItemTemplate >
<span onclick="unlock Child(this, 'delete');">
<asp:LinkButt on runat="server" Text="X" CommandName="De lete"
CausesValidatio n="false"></asp:LinkButton>
</span>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>

and the corresponding JavaScript function...

<script language="javas cript">
<!--
function unlockChild(par entObj, action){
var allowClick = confirm('Are you sure you want to ' + action + ' this
item?');
window.event.re turnValue = allowClick;
return allowClick;
}
//-->

Hi RSB,

you need to do it in DataGrid1_ItemC reated
get the (button) control instance by using the findcontrol method and then
attach the script using control.Attribu tes.Add method.

Button myButton = (Button) this.findContro l("btnDelete" )
myButton.Attrib utes.Add("oncli ck",return confirmDelete() ;");

Asish is right but I found in certain instances the ItemCreated is not
reliable. I used ItemDataBound of the datagrid to accomplish this.

this.dgGrid1.It emDataBound += new
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridItemEventHa ndler(this.dgGr id1_ItemDataBou n
d); //put this line of code in the InitializeCompo nent method or in the
PageLoad event

private void dgGrid1_ItemDat aBound(object sender, DataGridItemEve ntArgs e)
{
try
{

if(e.Item.ItemT ype==ListItemTy pe.Item
||e.Item.ItemTy pe==ListItemTyp e.AlternatingIt em)
{

LinkButton lbtn=(LinkButto n)e.Item.FindCo ntrol("btnDelet e");

if(lbtn!=null)
{

lbtn.Attributes .Add("onclick", "return confirm('Are you sure you want to
delete?');");

}

}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}

}

Please add the deligate method inside the InitializeCompo nent method. This
method executes before page load.

This is a sample in the itemcreated event for the grid
......
ListItemType elemType = e.Item.ItemType ;
if (elemType == ListItemType.It em || elemType
=ListItemType.A lternatingItem)
{
//add code to get button instance

button.Attribut es.Add ("onclick",
"return confirm ('Are you sure?');");

}
