I have 4 asp radio buttons that I want to appear like toggle buttons, but still function as asp radio buttons. Mainly, I need the CheckedChanged event to fire when the button is
I solved problem with another method:
data-toggle="buttons"
<% %>
tags inside HTML tagsI figured it out. The issue is the javascript that handles the toggle buttons doesn't allow the postback to fire. Since I didn't want to change the functionality of all toggle buttons, I changed data-toggle="buttons"
to data-toggle="buttons-postback"
and modified the Button.prototype.toggle function in bootstrap.js to this:
Button.prototype.toggle = function () {
var changed = true
var $parent = this.$element.closest('[data-toggle="buttons"]')
if ($parent.length) {
var $input = this.$element.find('input')
if ($input.prop('type') == 'radio') {
if ($input.prop('checked')) changed = false
$parent.find('.active').removeClass('active')
this.$element.addClass('active')
} else if ($input.prop('type') == 'checkbox') {
if (($input.prop('checked')) !== this.$element.hasClass('active')) changed = false
this.$element.toggleClass('active')
}
$input.prop('checked', this.$element.hasClass('active'))
if (changed) $input.trigger('change')
} else {
var $parent = this.$element.closest('[data-toggle="buttons-postback"]')
if ($parent.length) {
var $input = this.$element.find('input')
if ($input.prop('type') == 'radio') {
if ($input.prop('checked')) changed = false
$parent.find('.active').removeClass('active')
this.$element.addClass('active')
} else if ($input.prop('type') == 'checkbox') {
if (($input.prop('checked')) !== this.$element.hasClass('active')) changed = false
this.$element.toggleClass('active')
}
$input.prop('checked', this.$element.hasClass('active'))
if (changed) $input.trigger('change')
__doPostBack($input.id, '')
} else {
this.$element.attr('aria-pressed', !this.$element.hasClass('active'))
this.$element.toggleClass('active')
}
}
}
The part that I added is almost an exact copy of the function, but adds __doPostBack($input.id, '')
at the end of the processing when it finds a parent with data-toggle="buttons-postback"
Since the postback resets the HTML to its original state, I also added this to the event handlers in my code behind:
ach_lbl.Attributes.Add("Class", "btn btn-primary active")
If tbl_rdo_cc.Visible Then
cc_lbl.Attributes.Add("Class", "btn btn-primary")
End If
If tbl_rdo_ck.Visible Then
ck_lbl.Attributes.Add("Class", "btn btn-primary")
End If
If tbl_rdo_et.Visible Then
et_lbl.Attributes.Add("Class", "btn btn-primary")
End If
I know this probably isn't the most elegant solution (due to the fact I barely understand the JavaScript I modified), so any suggestions on what I can remove from what I added to the Button.prototype.toggle function would be greatly appreciated.
