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.

Feel free to email me via my blog at www.joeon.net

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:

www.aspdotnetcodes.com/Ajax_ModalPopup_PostBack_GridView.aspx

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.

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

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.

Hi,  

I have a question for all of you guys...I want to show the modalpopup up if the condition is satisfied and if the condition is not satisfied then i don't want to show the modalpopup.

Thanks in advance.

We are consuming a webservice in our website and at one point it will take about 30-40 second do display the data.

To keep user happy I want to show a modal popup box which will display rss feed, while in background the data is still being fetched.

My question is when it displays the modal popup box, will it continue to fetch the data in the background and is it possible to display something on modal popup box when data is received so that user knows that data is there.

Any idea, example would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Joe, i'm quit new with AJAX, and want to know something.

My problem is that the modalpopupexterder execute a postback on server.

The problem with the server postback is each controls are recreated and "x query" to database are also made. I know i can do some caching here but...

Any way to open a ajax modal popup with some javascript parameters that are passed to the "updated panel" postback when the popup show?

Exemple, the main page show 1 listbox and 1 button. The listbox show "Description" and have "ID" has values. When the button is clicked the modalpopup will show more information about the selected values. So the button should pass to the modalpopup someparameters, then the modal should have a updatepanel or something like this who will call back the server to render the appropriate details content of specify ID.

Anybody can help?

thanks

Thank Joe.

And all participant thanks for your valueable comments.

Thankz Joe.

I've used this AJAX control to open images or other panels.  Is it possible to open a pdf in a modal window?  I'm guessing using an IFrame or something to load the document.  Suggestions?

I have a modal popup in the masterpage which displays a usercontrol. How do i link the CancelControlID of the popup to the usercontrol button. Ur help will be appreciated

Hi Joe,

Please help me.  I am using modalpopup it is fantastic, and I do not have any problem with Firefox. however, in IE7 I get some problems. It does not lock the main page, no color is made for it,(It guess BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" does not affect) and below my page a gray color is created and extends my web page in terms of height!!! what can cause this problem?  :(

Thanks very much

Does any know how to prevent the popup layer to close when there is a postback event on the layer.

Example, once the popup is applied, and I select a country on the dropdownlist. This country doropdownlist will perform postback and get the list of the state/province. But it seems like every time it has a postback, the layer page is closed.

thanks,

Chai

I need to assign a value that the user inputs in a modal popup to a global variable. My problem is when the modalpopup is closed so is the value in the global variable that is assigned? any help?

Hi Joe,

I am wondering when you could reach me.

I am having a Master Page and a Child Page that have many

Asynchronous Post-back controls. ( Buttons, Textboxs, GridViews and so on)

So, i need to implement Ajax Progress to each and every Post-back control. In that user may Visualize which control is in Progress ( in Post back mode) and so on.

So in this way My page may have many Postback control user may triggers the event and showing each and evry control is in Progress ( in Post back mode).

This is great if you could provide me a working sample.

Thank you any way.

ZeroCool.
