How can I set TragetContriID
to a HyperLink
that is inside a GridView
?
I tried this :
<asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server"
PopupControlID="Panel1"
CancelControlID="btnCancel"
OnCancelScript="HideModalPopup()"
TargetControlID="GridView1$HyperLink1">
</asp:ModalPopupExtender>
But I have an error: that there is no GridView1$HyperLink1
Setting the TargetControlID
of the ModalPopupExtender
basically trigger the client side Show function of that ModalPopup when the control is clicked. So you need to wire up the controls yourself.
First, since the ModalPopupExtender
need a TargetControlID
, you should add a dummy control to link the modal popup to :
<asp:Button runat="server"
ID="HiddenTargetControlForModalPopup"
style="display:none"/>
And link the ModalPopupExtender
TargetControlID
to it
<asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server"
PopupControlID="Panel1"
CancelControlID="btnCancel"
OnCancelScript="HideModalPopup()"
TargetControlID="HiddenTargetControlForModalPopup">
</asp:ModalPopupExtender>
So the ModalPopupExtender
now has a target that do nothing. Now we now need to do the target's job. You need a javascript function to show the ModalPopup from client side.
<script type="text/javascript">
var ModalPopup='<%= ModalPopupExtender1.ClientID %>';
function ShowModalPopup() {
// show the Popup
$find(ModalPopup).show();
}
</script>
Then you should map the OnClientClick
event of the control in your gridview
to this javascript function. From your code, I see that you use a asp:HyperLink
, I don't think it support the OnClientClick
event, so you probably need to switch it to a asp:LinkButton
.
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server"
OnClientClick="ShowModalPopup()" />
