OnClientButtonClicking

The OnClientButtonClicking client-side event occurs when the user clicks on a ribbonbar button, before the ribbonbar responds to the mouse click.

The event handler receives two parameters:

  1. The instance of the ribbonbar firing the event.

  2. An eventArgs parameter containing the following methods:

    • get_button() returns a reference to the ribbonbar button that was clicked. In this case it is RibbonBarButton.

    • set_cancel() lets you prevent the ribbonbar from responding to the mouse click. You can use this event to respond when the user clicks on a ribbonbar button:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientButtonClicking(sender, args) {
        args.set_cancel(true);
    }       
</script>
<telerik:RadRibbonBar RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadRibbonBar1" runat="server" OnClientButtonClicking="OnClientButtonClicking">
    <telerik:RibbonBarTab Text="Home">
        <telerik:RibbonBarGroup Text="Clipboard" EnableLauncher="true">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RibbonBarButton Size="Medium" Text="Cut" ImageUrl="icons/Cut.png" />
                <telerik:RibbonBarButton Size="Medium" Text="Copy" ImageUrl="icons/Copy.png" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:RibbonBarGroup>
    </telerik:RibbonBarTab>
</telerik:RadRibbonBar>
  • set_enabled() - disables a RadRibbonBarButton when set to false.

  • get_enabled() - returns true if the RadRibbonBar is enabled and flase when it is disabled.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientButtonClicking(sender, args) {
        var button = args.get_button();
        button.set_enabled(false);          
    }

</script>
<telerik:RadRibbonBar RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadRibbonBar1" runat="server" OnClientButtonClicking="OnClientButtonClicking">
    <telerik:RibbonBarTab Text="Home">
        <telerik:RibbonBarGroup Text="Clipboard" EnableLauncher="true">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RibbonBarButton Size="Medium" Text="Cut" ImageUrl="icons/Cut.png" />
                <telerik:RibbonBarButton Size="Medium" Text="Copy" ImageUrl="icons/Copy.png" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:RibbonBarGroup>
    </telerik:RibbonBarTab>
</telerik:RadRibbonBar>
