For the ajax control, modal popup extender. I know the extender needs a target control ID to initiate the popup however if we also have a event handler connected to the target control, does it not execute? If so, is there a way to work around it?

ex.

<ajx:ModalPopupExtender ID="AddNotePopupExtender" runat="server" PopupDragHandleControlID="PopUpWindowHeader"
PopupControlID="ModalWindowPanel" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" TargetControlID="AddNote"/>

some code ......

<asp:LinkButton ID="AddNote" runat="server" ShowModal="False" ToolTip="Add Note">Add New Note</asp:LinkButton>

while in the code behind.....

Protected Sub Add(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles AddNote.Click
AccountNote.Text = String.Empty
AddNotePopupExtender.Show()
Me.BindGrid()
End Sub

but the textbox doesn't clear

Hi there,

This is a bit out of scope for me to answer in this book's forum category. Also, it's been a while since I used the ModalPopupExtender so I am not sure what the intended behavior is. Maybe it just fires at the client and never causes a postback?

Try posting this in a more general ASP.NET category here at wrox.com or try finding one of the Microsoft forums dedicated to the control toolkit.

Cheers,

Imar
