Hello All,

            I like the quick add links that Iron Speed generates so that supporting data elements can be setup on the fly.  I do not like the additional navigation options presented to the user when the add record panel is all that’s needed.  To hide these additional controls I added the following code to the menu panels LoadData event so the control is hidden.  If you have a cleaner way please share it.

Phil

 
public void LoadData()
{
// LoadData reads database data and assigns it to UI controls.
// Customize by adding code before or after the call to LoadData_Base()
// or replace the call to LoadData_Base().
LoadData_Base();
// hide menu if its being called by a popup add
if (!this.IsPostBack)
{
if (BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "Target", false) != null && BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "DFKA", false) != null)
{
this.Visible = false;
}
}
}

Jimi,

      I can guess that it's not hiding the menu control?  If it’s doing something different let me know.  Where are you placing the code and if you would show us the code.

echo4sos,

            Good catch, you are right I meant to say LoadData event in the custom section.  Thank you for pointing that out.  I’ll correct the original post also.

      public void LoadData()

      {

      // LoadData reads database data and assigns it to UI controls.

      // Customize by adding code before or after the call to LoadData_Base()

      // or replace the call to LoadData_Base().

      LoadData_Base();

      if (BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "Target", false) != null && BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "DFKA", false) != null)

      {

        if (this._Button.ClientID.ToUpper() == "SAVEANDNEWBUTTON__BUTTON")

          this.Visible = false;

        if (this._Button.ClientID.ToUpper() == "SAVEBUTTON__BUTTON")

           this._Button.Text = "Save and Return";

      }

      }

Bill,

            Thank you for the kind words.  I know that you are also someone that is really good about responding to post with really useful information.

* Updated to include visibility of the header

            I like the quick add links that Iron Speed generates so that supporting data elements can be setup on the fly.  I do not like the additional page header and navigation options presented to the user when the add record panel is all that is needed.  To hide these additional controls I added the following code to the header and menu panels LoadData event so the control is hidden.

In the Header and Footer directory find the code behind file Header.ascx.(cs/vb) and place the following code in the LoadData event;

C# Code

this.Visible = (BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "Target", false) == null && BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "DFKA", false) == null);

VB Code:

Me.Visible = (BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(Me, "Target", False) = Nothing AndAlso BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(Me, "DFKA", False) = Nothing)

In the Menu Panels directory locate the code behind file Menu.ascx.(cs/vb) and place the following code in the LoadData event;

C# Code

this.Visible = (BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "Target", false) == null && BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(this, "DFKA", false) == null);

VB Code:

Me.Visible = (BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(Me, "Target", False) = Nothing AndAlso BaseClasses.Utils.NetUtils.GetUrlParam(Me, "DFKA", False) = Nothing)
