I'm trying to define a gridview in a webpart which has a DetailsView control that will appear when a user mouses over an item in the first column of the gridview.

 Currently, I've defined a templatefield for the first column of the gridview.  In this templatefield, I've put a linkbutton which when moused-over, triggers a hovermenuextender which pops up a panel control containing the detailsview   The linkbutton and other columns of the db are populated via db stored proc.  The problem I'm having is that I need to have the text of the linkbutton be sent in as a value to the stored procedure that will populate the detailsview.  Is there anyway to do all of this?  Thanks in advance for any insight


 

Hi Beachguy,

Based on my experience, I think you should attach a Javascript to the LinkButton's focus.  (LinkButton will be a <a> element on the client) For Example,It is a onclick sample , you should do some modifications.

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ImageButton myImageButton;
        Button myButton;
        for (int i = 0; i < _list.Items.Count; i++)
        {
                myImageButton = (ImageButton)_list.Items[i].FindControl("_image");
                myButton = (Button)_list.Items[i].FindControl("Button1");
                myImageButton.Attributes.Add("onClick", "changeClick('"+myButton.ClientID+"');return false;");
        }
    }

Now when the mouse over the LinkButton, the focus event is fired. Then the Javascript function will set the LinkButton's Text to be value of a control which will be sent as a parameter to the procedure.

I hope this help.

Best regards,
