GridView

Hi

I'm using a GridView to list data from a table in my database. On of the
fields is a URL and when I click a row in the GridView I want the page to
automaticly open that link. How do I write code to an event i the GridView
so that when I click a row the page opens up the new link in another window?

RE: GridView

You are going to need a little Javascript




You wire it something like this

The GridView control has a HyperLink field, which might be what you
are looking for. Just google GridView HyperLink.

Re: GridView

As an added note, the HyperlinkField has a Target property (relates to the
HTML hyperlink target attribute), so you can easily get it to open in
another window

Re: GridView

So you're saying the javascript I wrote becomes unnecessary?

Re: GridView

You can do this

Dim cmd As New CommandField
cmd.EditText = "Select"
cmd.ButtonType = ButtonType.Link
cmd.ShowSelectButton = True
grid.Columns.Add(cmd)

or you can do it declaritive
or you can use the wizard

Lot's of choices

But I never link this command button to pop-up window as David is suggesting

Re: GridView

David,

I went and did a little checking and could not find the Target property or
its use. Could you point us to an example or a link that talks about this

That's likely the case.

Re: GridView

Thanks, you know I seen that page before and never understood it until now
when you brought it up.

That's a simple solution.

Thanks again!

Re: GridView

Coul dyou give me a code example

My GridView is called gvTracks. My DataSourse is called sdsMP3Tracks.

Can you use only these two objects to open the mp3 file?

Re: GridView

Well that's the static way. I need to do it dynamicly. The view inlcudes
several URLs and I wan tto seleft ont view on the GrodView (GV) and then
goto that url.

Imagine a table with lots of hyper links. You click one of them and the url
in the hyper link opens. That's what I want to do. As an example goto the
page at http://www.rosoft.se/. It includes lots of Hyperlinks that I would
like to store in a database. Fields stored would be ShowText and URL. Using
a GV just shows the data in the table as strings. How do I transform the
text in the GV to hyperliks as in the example on my homepage.
