Independent files manager

Environment

Product

Telerik WebForms Editor for ASP.NET AJAX

Description

this article aims to provide a solution for implementation of an independent file manager.

Solution

In this sample, an use of image and documents manager dialogs are defined outside the Editor, so that it can support multi images/documents in a single page.

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="ImageTextBox1" Width="400px"></asp:TextBox>
<button onclick="OpenDialog('ImageTextBox1', 'DialogOpener1', 'ImageManager');return false;">Open ImageManager1</button><br />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="ImageTextBox2" Width="400px"></asp:TextBox>
<button onclick="OpenDialog('ImageTextBox2', 'DialogOpener1', 'ImageManager');return false;">Open ImageManager2</button><br />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="ImageTextBox3" Width="400px"></asp:TextBox>
<button onclick="OpenDialog('ImageTextBox3', 'DialogOpener1', 'ImageManager');return false;">Open ImageManager3</button><br />
<telerik:DialogOpener runat="server" ID="DialogOpener1" Skin="Telerik"></telerik:DialogOpener>
<br />
<button onclick="OpenDialog('ImageTextBox1', 'DialogOpener1', 'DocumentManager');return false;">Open Document Manager</button>
<button onclick="OpenDialog('ImageTextBox1', 'DialogOpener1', 'FlashManager');return false;">Open Flash Manager</button>

var callBackControl = "";

function OpenDialog(currentCallBackControl, dialog, type) {
    callBackControl = currentCallBackControl;
    $find(dialog).open(type);
}

function ImageManagerFunction(sender, args) {
    var selectedItem = args.SelectedItem;
    var resultImageObject = args.Result;

    var txt = $get(callBackControl);
    if (document.all) {
        txt.value = selectedItem.getPath();
    }
    else {
        txt.value = selectedItem.getPath();

This C# code defines a static class named DialogOpenerHandler with several methods for setting up different types of dialogs for use with Telerik controls. Let's break down each method:

• SetDocumentDialog: This method configures a dialog for managing documents. It sets up a FileManagerDialogParameters object with specific view, upload, and delete paths, as well as a maximum upload file size. Then, it creates a DialogDefinition object for a DocumentManagerDialog with these parameters, specifying a client callback function, width, and height. Finally, it adds this DialogDefinition to the DialogOpener object passed as a parameter.

• SetFlashDialog: Similar to SetDocumentDialog, this method configures a dialog for managing Flash content. It follows the same pattern of setting up FileManagerDialogParameters and DialogDefinition for a FlashManagerDialog and adds it to the provided DialogOpener.

• SetImageDialog: This method sets up two dialogs related to managing images. The first part configures a dialog for browsing and selecting images, using FileManagerDialogParameters and DialogDefinition for an ImageManagerDialog. The second part configures a dialog for editing images, using FileManagerDialogParameters and DialogDefinition for an ImageEditorDialog. Both dialogs have specific paths and a maximum upload file size set.
