Hi all,

 Does any one know how to do  a double confirmation using AJAX Control?

for example if i want to delete a record by click a button, i would like to have one AJAX confirm said :  The record selected will be delete... (OK, CANCEL)

then if i hit OK , it will use another AJAX CONFIRM CONTROL and ask ARE YOU SURE? (YES OR NO)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Ddee

you can accomplish that without the Extendar as follows;

        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="javascript:if(confirm('The record selected will be delete... (OK, CANCEL)'))return  confirm('ask ARE YOU SURE? (YES OR NO)'); else return false;"  />

Why would you ask your user the same thing twice?

It seems kind of uneccesary doesn't it?

Why not mark the data as deleted in the database (soft delete) rather than actually deleting it. Then you can offer the user a way to undo the deletion. Then at the end of the Session you could permanently remove all the entries marked for deletion.

I know that's more complex, but if I had to click OK, YES everytime I wanted to delete a record I think I'd probably throw my keyboard through the window.

What do you think?

Hi Anas, 

Thank you... It work great except that is there a way I can pass in the value at run time that i would like to display in the confirm message????

I think you mean something like:
 

    Private Sub AddConfirmation(ByVal msg As String, ByVal btn As Button)
        Dim ConfirmFullFunction As String = "return confirm(""{0}"");"
        btn.Attributes.Add("onclick", String.Format(ConfirmFullFunction, msg))
    End Sub

Use it like this:
 

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            AddConfirmation("Are you sure you wanted to press this button?", Button1)
        End If
    End Sub

Yes, you can assign the OnClientClick Property from code behind , for examlpe , in page_Laod  you can write this :

  If Not IsPostBack Then
            ' the message that will be displayed to the user 
            ' you can change the message Text as you want 
            Dim FirstAlert As String = " First Confirm  Message goes here  "
            Dim secondalert As String = "Second Confirm Message goes here  "

            Button1.OnClientClick = _
            String.Format("javascript:if(confirm('{0}'))return  confirm('{1}'); else return false;", FirstAlert, secondalert)
        End If

the FirstAlert and SecondAlert variables  can be  assigned to value from your language resource so that you can Display a locaized messsages,
