  Add Animation to modalpopupextender created in Code-Behind

  Feb 29, 2012 03:12 PM|LINK

  Hi guys.  Been messing with for a while and figured I would see what I am messing.  I have a user control that wires up some popups depending on the browser type.  Long story short, for IE6, I want add a MPE WITH animation at runtime so I am doing it all at the server side.

  I can create the MPE without issue.  But when I try to add animation it get the error:

  "Animation on TargetControlID="btnThumbnail" uses property AjaxControlToolkit.ModalPopupExtender.OnShowing that does not exist or cannot be set"

  
  Here is what my code looks like:

  //Add the modal popup
              AjaxControlToolkit.ModalPopupExtender mpe = new AjaxControlToolkit.ModalPopupExtender()
              {
                  ID = "mpePopup",
                  TargetControlID = btnThumbnail.ID,
                  PopupControlID = panMain.ID,
                  OkControlID = imgClose.ID,
                  BackgroundCssClass = "modalBackgroundIE6",
                  Animations = "<OnShowing><ScriptAction Script='showOverflow(false);' /></OnShowing>"
              };
              this.Controls.Add(mpe);

  If I remove the line setting the Animations string it works fine.  I cant find documention on it anywhere.  This, btw, is the same technique I use with create AnimationExtenders and that works fine.  For example, this works fine:

              //Add closing animation
              AjaxControlToolkit.AnimationExtender ane = new AjaxControlToolkit.AnimationExtender()
              {
                  ID = "aneClosePopup",
                  TargetControlID = imgClose.ID,
                  Animations = "<Sequence><ScriptAction Script='showOverflow(false);' /></Sequence>"
              };
              this.Controls.Add(ane);

  BUT an extender will not work in this case since I am actually trying to add animation to a MPE.  I tried doing literals and it didnt work.  Tried creating an AjaxControlToolkit.Animation object but could get very far with it since there isnt much documention.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hi,

  I am afraid you can't do that directly. But you could do that like this: http://forums.asp.net/p/1318051/2624063.aspx#2624063.
