Application page as pop up on event click in SharePoint 2010

In this example I will show you how to open application page as a pop up using java script. It is very commonly and most important requirement in SharePoint 2010 development.

Here is an example, say I have an application page called applicationpage1.aspx and code behind is - applicationpage1.aspx.cs. And want to open the application page as pop up on click of hyperlink.

Write a java script code in applicationpage1.aspx as follows, in this example, I am passing only one parameter.

Briefly

Parent page - The java script code in .aspx page

<script type="text/javascript">

function EditDoc(itemID) {

        var options = {

// path of the document to be opened as pop up. Replace ‘xxxxxx’ with you actual page.          

url: "/_layouts/XXXXXXXX/EditDocument.aspx?ID=" + itemID, allowMaximize: true, showClose: true, height: 300, dialogReturnValueCallback: function (result, returnValue) {

                window.location.href = window.location.href;
            }

        };
        modalDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);

    }

</script>

Parent page – The item databound of the Telerik grid or data grid in code behind page

(dataItem["EditDoc"].FindControl("EditDocument") as HyperLink).NavigateUrl = string.Format("javascript:EditDoc({0});", dataItem["ID"].Text);

In child page (opened as pop up) auto refresh back to parent page

After you logic, at the end use following code

Context.Response.Write(string.Format("<script type='text/javascript'>window.frameElement.commitPopup();</script>"));

            Context.Response.Flush();

            Context.Response.End();

In detail

<asp:Content ID="PageHead" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/<%=System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID%>/init.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/<%=System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID%>/core.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

function EditDoc(itemID) {

        var options = {

// path of the document to be opened as pop up. Replace ‘xxxxxx’ with you actual page.           

url: "/_layouts/XXXXXXXX/EditDocument.aspx?ID=" + itemID, allowMaximize: true, showClose: true, height: 300, dialogReturnValueCallback: function (result, returnValue) {

                window.location.href = window.location.href;

            }

        };

        modalDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);

    }

</script>

</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Main" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" AllowPaging="false" runat="server" AllowSorting="true"
 

            AutoGenerateColumns="false" AllowFilteringByColumn="false" HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="true"

            OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" GridLines="None" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand" CssClass="OverrideTelerikGridStyles">

        <ClientSettings EnableAlternatingItems="false"></ClientSettings>

        <MasterTableView GroupLoadMode="Client" TableLayout="Fixed" GroupsDefaultExpanded="true">

        <Columns> 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn ItemStyle-Width="110px" UniqueName="EditDoc" AllowFiltering="false" ItemStyle-ForeColor="Blue" ItemStyle-Font-Underline="true">             

                    <ItemTemplate>   

                        <asp:HyperLink ID="EditDocument" runat="server" Text="Edit Docuemnt"></asp:HyperLink>                    

                    </ItemTemplate>

         </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

</Columns>

        </MasterTableView>    

    </telerik:RadGrid> 

</asp:Content>

In applicationpage1.aspx.cs

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)

        {

            try

            {

                if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

                {

                    GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;

(dataItem["EditDoc"].FindControl("EditDocument") as HyperLink).NavigateUrl = string.Format("javascript:EditDoc({0});", dataItem["ID"].Text);

}
}

}

Second part… EditDocument.aspx (this is the page opened as pop up) now once you are done entering some data and want to save and go back to the parent page. How to go back to parent page without refreshing the parent page

Say I have two buttons in pop page say OK and Cancel.

Following code in OK button click event

Context.Response.Write(string.Format("<script type='text/javascript'>window.frameElement.commitPopup();</script>"));

                Context.Response.Flush();

                Context.Response.End();

Following code in Cancel button click event

Context.Response.Write(string.Format("<script type='text/javascript'>window.frameElement.commitPopup();</script>"));

            Context.Response.Flush();

            Context.Response.End();

Happy coding....
