How Do I: Use the ASP.NET AJAX ModalPopup Extender Control?

You guys make this too easy!

These are good things for me!! Thank you

That's what I'm talking about. Easy.  Thanks.

Adding context menu to a ListBox.

Joe:

In the past I used Telerik RAD controls which allowed ModalPopups to contain individual web pages from either the same project/solution or a different web site page altogether.  

I don't have use of that assembly anymore and was wondering if there's a way to accomplish the same thing using the AjaxControlToolkit ModalPopup?

All of my searches show that this AJAX control supports panels exclusively.  I actually placed an iFrame within a panel, within a ModalPopup but have a very buggy-javaScript parent page.

I am desperate... any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks in advance

How would you set it up so that you can pass in a dynamic string to display in the ModalPopup? I'm trying to replace the javascript 'alert' function I use now for popup messages so I can use CSS to make my popups nicer.

I'm guessing DynamicServiceMethod has something to do with my question?

Joe,

I have a need to use the modalpopup, but the code I need to use is all in a separate ASPX page.  I can change that to an ASCX user control. WOuld that work as the popup control?  How would I set the controlID (ok and cancel), since they would be controls in the ASCX?

Any help would be apprciated.

I'd like to use the Modal Popup Extender triggered by a link button in a GridView Control... is this possible?

I found several articles on using from within a gridview.  Here are a couple:

aspalliance.com/1509_Working_with_ModalPopup_Ajax_Control.all

I just did a gridview on a modal pop today. It's AWSOME. I just used the regular basic panel popup scenario, placed a LINQ datasource on the page and wired it to a gridview on the panel to be popped up. Works great though I haven't figured out how to get the ModalPopupExtender OkControlID wired to the row select on the gridview. I'm on the trail of using a template field to select the row so I can have a named control......  If you figure that one out let me know.

i just did this example and run it on my 2 different browsers to find out that when following these exact steps Internet Explorer 7 does not show the modal pop up while Mozilla does. does anybody know why??

to Joe: thanks for this very useful videos

Hi Joe, i am trying to get the   Modal Popup Extender triggered when the user clicks  on a hyperlinked ProductID field in a gridview. How should i approach this.

realjuancho - can you emal me a sample ?

javed - what do you want to happen when the user clicks? Feel free to email me via the COntact form on my blog at www.joeon.net

I just want a AJAX popup window with Close button. The popup will only display the product details.

To javed:

Why dont you just put a small close button? or even take a small "x" image and use CSS to position it on top of the panel?

I suppose the cancelControlID captures the click event on any control to close. I could be terribly wrong though.

Masfenix:

What you are saying is correct but my intention is to display records in a GridView with ProductId as HyperLinked Field. When the user clciks on this hyperlink i want to pop an AJAX Modal PopUp to display Product detail and a Close Button only, i am having no problem on ButtonClick event but i just cant get this thing to work on hyperlink.

hi,

I need to use the modal popupextender in my application. but I have a master page in my app. and I need to add the script for the OK button. where and how can I add the script to my contentplace holder?? could you please help me?? and I need to call the button_click method of the OK button of the modal popup in which i interact with the database. How can I do that??

So do you want the code in the masterPage or in the deriving page ?

Good Stuff Joe!  I'm working my way through all of these using VS2008.  I noticed that the 'filter' and 'opacity' properties are getting flagged with a 'is not known CSS property name.'  I'm guessing this is a VS2008 bug as the opacity really happens when I run it, but I thought I would check to see if there is a more up-to-date term that should be used here.

i want the code in the deriving page...not the master page..

Ward - your are correct, I think it'sjust an Intellisence / Schema glitch.

Hi there

Is it possible to add multiple ModalPopupextenders to the Same page.

When I try this only the first one works.

I'am using VS2008 - Toolkit 3.5

Thanks Stagner,

Can I gray out part of a page using tool?

In my page I have Treeview, I want to keep it active while              displaying the modelpopup, is it possible?

Thanks.

Hi Joe Stagner,

   Its really good video. I have a question for you. I am using ModalPopup Extender in our application, through coding I am making the extender visible, ModalPopupExtender.Show() method. Its working fine when I am executing it with out using a control like button. If in the button click if I am using the same statements its not working. Can you please tell me what might be wrong in my coding.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Joe,

Thanks

I can`t do this because my VisualStutio 2008 dosen`t know the <ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender ...

how can do this?

When I create a modalpopupextender, it pops up in center of screen - how do I make it pop up relative to the control that "spawned" it?

My Ajaxtoolkit control doesn't have a "position" property -instead of <Ajaxtoolkit:modal...> it's <cc1:modal...>

Is that something else?

Hi

I want to update WYSIWYG editor (with HTML code) using ModalPopup. I am not even able to update label/textbox.

can anybody PLZ help ?? ?? ??

VS 2008 and AjaxTK 3.5

The modal popup just closes when i try to update/refresh some data inside.

Next time I open it the update did occur the data/ change is there - but why didnt the modal popup stay open?

This used to work perfectly with .Net 2.0 I use it constantly, now nothing works.

I have run SP1(beta) but this changes nothing - whats going on?

Please help...

What is the case, if i have huge data on my web page.

The Modal popup extender stops working and the error message is

Stop running the script?

A script on this page causes Internet Explorer running slowly.If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.

The above error message coming in IE only. in mozilla it's working very fine.

Can you please tell me some solution.

thanks
