[RESOLVED] navigate pages through datagrid item

*control naming error its Gridview not datagrid

Hi, I have search page using gridivew with boundfield on it. And I want to do something extra by making the full row clickable instead of having hyperlink control in specific column or make the image a hyperlink itself. I've read some post regarding CellContentClick but not really sure how to use it. Other use AJAX... not my option at the moment as I want to keep the code simple for simple task.

Hello,

Is this:

What you are after?

hi gary,

Not really, my apology if i get you lost. Take this sample

Code:

---

DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("showbutton"), Button).Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.open('mrecipe.aspx?id=" & e.Row.DataItem("pk_id").ToString & "','_self'); return false;")

---

basically i use the showbutton for transferring details to other page but instead of having that i want to use the entire row to fire to raise a navigation event.

Thanks.

Ok, this is simply an extension of the code that I linked to.

The example show how to make the whole row clickable, so once you have that, you just exchange in your code.

hey, thanks for the web ref. it was a good start.

eventually i end up with the simplest code, something like these. only that i hook up row data for building querystring. :D

Code:

---

        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.location='my_url?q=" &  e.row.dataitem("fld").tostring &";")
           
            'add hlink cursor effect 
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "javascript:this.style.cursor='pointer';")
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "javascript:this.style.cursor='default;")
End If

---

cheers.

Sounds like you have a solution :)

Can you remember to mark your thread as resolved?
