How can I grab a textfield value in Ext.Net? - c#

I know there's a lot of information on this, but mine doesn't seem to be working out so well. I have a form that's created in C# in a form panel. My textfields are created like below:
Ext.Net.Panel panel = new Ext.Net.Panel();
Field field = null;
field = new TextField();
field.Name = "FieldTitle";
field.ID = "FieldID";
panel.Add(field);
this.searchform.Add(panel);
this.searchform.Add(new Ext.Net.Button()
{
Text = "Search",
Handler = "getID();"
});
When the search button is hit, then a JavaScript function is called which performs a store reload:
Ext.getCmp("#Gridpanel").getStore().reload({});
On the reload, I want to read the form fields and use the text for another part of the code. However, the below code doesn't seem to be working:
if(X.isAjaxRequest){
var ctrl = X.GetCmp<TextField>("FieldID");
string value = ctrl.Value.ToString();
}
I can get inside the 'if' statement, but ctrl comes back as null. Is there something else I need to include to grab the text field data?
EDIT
So I'm realizing that I'll have to pass an array of the search field ID's to a JavaScript function, then send a dataset back to the server side in order to implement the search. Just to throw it out there, is there a way to dynamically create controls (ie; a TextField) in C# and then get the value from those controls after an event is fired (ie; a button click)?

You can try to get the textfield using
Ext.getCmp("#FieldID") or X.getCmp("#FieldID"). FieldID is the client ID for TextField.
Use developer Tools to check the ID for the TextField

Leave event of the TextBox Validation

So i have Two textboxes, both being used by Barcode scanner. Textbox1 is material and Textbox2 is progress. I would like to clear TB1 and TB2 when TB2 scans "F4" and focus Textbox1.
I couldn't figure it out so i came to you stack.
Thanks for any help.
So capturing bar code scans is tricky. The event model is the problem. To make matters worse, you're using ASP.NET so it's going to be even harder. But, it's possible with JavaScript. Consider the following jQuery:
$("#textBox2").on('keyup', function(event) {
o = $(this);
if (o.val() === 'F4') {
// post the values back to the server via AJAX
// clear the text boxes
$("#textBox1").val('');
o.val('');
// focus the first text box
$('#textBox1").focus();
}
});
where #textBox2 is the id attribute of the input element you want to interrogate and #textBox1 is the id attribute of the input element that houses material value.
This could technically be hacked with the ASP.NET post back model, but it wouldn't be pretty. You'd have to use the same JavaScript event to actually force a post back:
$("#textBox2").on('keyup', function(event) {
o = $(this);
if (o.val() === 'F4') {
$('#formName').submit();
}
});
where #formName is the id attribute of the form element you're inside of.
And then server-side you'd have to consume the TextChanged event of the second text box and check its value to know you ought to clear the values of both. It's just a little fickle.
Finally, using this post back model, you'd have to register some client startup script to set the focus to the first text box because you'll need some JavaScript to do that. As you can see, it just gets uglier.

reading form value of a control (TextBox) in ASP.Net

I would like to read the Form value of a control (e.g TextBox), i.e 'Request.Form["[Control_Name_Here]"]. The problem with using say TextBox.Text is because if you explicity set it yourself in the Page_Load, there is no way you can get back the 'original value' submitted in the form.
As you know, Asp.Net generates a unique ID/Name for the control. The Request.Form is based on the name attribute of a control. Each webcontrol has a ClientID property, however this does not match the name. The name seems to be almost like the ClientID, having $ instead of _. Is there a way to easily get the value from the form, without resorting to having to replace the _ to a $?
And this should also cater for other naming-conventions, because as from Asp.Net you can also choose to have a control's id statically-generated, rather than dynamically.
It sounds to me like you're not looking for the .ClientID property, but the .UniqueID property of the Control.
See: MSDN
Edit: Also, is there a reason you're always setting the .Text property within the page load? Instead of for example check the Page.IsPostBack property instead and only set the .Text if it's false?
I personally use jquery to find the control and read and set the value
GetFormValue = function (idName) {
var srchP = '[id='+idName+']';
var ctrl = $(srchP);
if (ctrl != null)
return ctrl.val();
return null;
}
so assume th id name in server part is txMytext
and it will be .....$txMytext in client
and by calling GetFormValue('txMytext') in client side you cna get the value of control
dont foget to use jquery library

Changing input value using javascript

I've been looking for a reason why this doesn't work, but I can't find one. In my asp.net application I create a a bunch of hidden inputs in c# and then try to modify them in javascript before I call them back to the server.
My c# code:
hidden3 = new HtmlInputHidden();
hidden3.ID = "total";
hidden3.Value = index.ToString();
this.Controls.Add(hidden3);
my javascript code:
mod = document.getElementById("total");
mod.value = newVal;
I can call the value back fine but it doesn't change. I have also added alerts for the original value and then the value after changing values and they both show up fine. However the code is never changed so when I pull the values
To get the value back I am using this;
HtmlInputHidden hiddenControl = (HtmlInputHidden)FindControl("total");
Have you verified that the resulting input tag as the ID of "total"? By default, in Webforms, the actual client-side ID is prefixed with the parent's Id (and a delimiting character); this helps to ensure that IDs are unique. One way to get the real client-side Id is to pull the value from the ClientID property of the control, but you should only look at that value once it has been put in a Controls collection.
These controls are dynamically created and they have to be created in each postback. However, these should be built before Page_Load preferably in Page_Init event handler. If these are created in Page_Load, the view state has already been processed and the control can't be set from the posted value.

post back occurs javascript listbox items lost in asp.net

i have 10 list boxes in my aspx page for all 10 list boxes same function is using for some buttons i want to add listbox data to grid can you help me my java script code shown below
function MoveItem(ctrlSource, ctrlTarget) {
var Source = document.getElementById(ctrlSource);
var Target = document.getElementById(ctrlTarget);
if ((Source != null) && (Target != null)) {
while ( Source.options.selectedIndex >= 0 ) {
var newOption = new Option(); // Create a new instance of ListItem
newOption.text = Source.options[Source.options.selectedIndex].text;
newOption.value = Source.options[Source.options.selectedIndex].value;
Target.options[Target.length] = newOption; //Append the item in Target
Source.remove(Source.options.selectedIndex); //Remove the item from Source
}
}
}
i tried a javascript above code to move items between listbox using html input button problem when i trying to save listbox.items.count giving 0 can anyone tell me why this happening and also when post back occurs listbox items lost.
Dear,
This is a normal, any thing changed client side to the list box will not be reflected on the server side.
you can add an onclientclick event on the button and read the items from the listbox client side and save them using AJAX, or you can read the items from the listbox client side and put them in a hidden field as a string and you can read the value of the hidden field server side.
you can read all the item from the client side, and format them in your own format as a string.
then add an asp hidden field on the page, and client side put the string that you have in the hidden field value property.
now you can access the string from the onclick event on the server side and extract the items of the list boxes.

Javascript added input control on .net postback

What I'm trying to achieve/plan, is whereby a page loads with a set of inputs, e.g. TextBox, Radio List etc. Taking TextBox as an example, there is a button for the user to "Add" another textbox to the page (in the same group), e.g. Member1, Member2, Member3 etc etc.
Two questions:
I could add these with Javascript, however the resultant "save" on postback would not get these inputs? If so, how?
The form needs to work without Javascript as well, so postback to dad another control is fine, however if I click the "add" button again, it will only ever add one control.
protected void btnAdd_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
holder.Controls.Add(new TextBox { ID = "txtControl1" });
}
You can access the dynamic controls in the postback by name, using the following syntax "Page.Request.Form[""].ToString();". This uses the "name" attribute, not the "id" attribute.
I guess you can have one of these scenarios :
1- to save any new control ( textbox ) data in a session variable .. for example save name and value in which when any post back you can draw then again from this variable
2- If the only post back done from Add button you can do its function without doing post back as in this example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178210.aspx
