OnClientDataLoading

The OnClientDataLoading event is fired by the RadLiveTile when its data request is about to be initiated. You can cancel it to prevent the request. The Value the tile passes to the service can also be changed here.

The event handler receives two arguments:

1. The RadLiveTile that fired the event

2. An event arguments object that exposes the following members:

OnClientDataLoading event arguments object members

Name	Return type	Arguments	Description
get_cancel()	bool		Returns a flag that indicates whether the request will be canceled.
get_value()	string / object		Returns the Value property of the LiveTile that will be sent to the service. It could have been changed through the set_value() method.
set_cancel()		bool	Sets a flag that indicates whether the request will be canceled. If true is passed the request will not be performed.
set_value()		string / object	Sets a new string that will be passed as an argument to the service.For OData services this is a complex object that can be used to pass/edit information about the datasource, e.g. add a filter. In this case the Value object exposes the arguments of the Requesting client-side event of the RadODataDataSource control. This means it is also possible to directly filter the datasource control in its own event. An example of this is available in the Loading Data article. You can see how to use the RadLiveTile event in Example 1.

Example 1: Filtering RadODataDataSource through a RadLiveTile:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientDataLoading(sender, args)
    {
        args.get_value().filter.filters.push({
            field: "CategoryID",
            operator: "eq",
            value: Math.floor(Math.random() * 9)
        });
    }
</script>

The following code snippet shows how to cancel the request according to a custom condition which is emulated in a hardcoded flag for the purpose of this example:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientDataLoading(sender, args)
    {
        var shouldCancel = true; //hardcoded to always cancel the event for demonstration purposes
        args.set_cancel(shouldCancel);
    }
</script>
<telerik:RadLiveTile OnClientDataLoading="OnClientDataLoading" ID="RadLiveTile1"
                     runat="server" UpdateInterval="7000">
    <WebServiceSettings Path="TrafficInformation.asmx" Method="GetTrafficDataPerPerson"></WebServiceSettings>
    <ClientTemplateAnimationSettings Animation="None" AnimationDuration="1000" Easing="" />
    <ClientTemplate>
        <div style="width:150px; height: 150px;">
            <img alt="" src="Img/Customers/#= CustomerID #.jpg" />
            <div style="color:black; font-weight: bold; position: absolute; bottom: 5px;">Violations: #= Violations #</div>
            </div>
    </ClientTemplate>
</telerik:RadLiveTile>

The code snippet below shows how to change the value for a web service request. For more information examine the Change the Value for the Given Request section at the end of the Pass Data to the Web Service article.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientDataLoading(sender, args)
    {
        //Change the value of the "Value" key
        //in this example, the new string that is set is "myNewValue"
        args.set_value({
            "Key": "Value",
            "Value": "myNewValue"
        });
    }
</script>
