Is there a way to specifically transmit ComponentArt CallbackEventArgs from a JavaScript function during a callback?

One of the challenges I'm facing involves implementing a callback in my ComponentArt CallBack control using javascript when the dropdown list is changed. I specifically want to pass both the control and the associated ComponentArt.Web.UI.CallBackEventArgs in the javascript code.

Here's a simplified version of what I'm working on:

How can I explicitly pass the ComponentArt.Web.UI.CallBackEventArg in the javascript? To achieve this, I need to figure out WHAT_DO_I_PUT_HERE.

The ascx control includes:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="foo.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebPlugins.foo" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="ComponentArt" Namespace="ComponentArt.Web.UI" Assembly="ComponentArt.Web.UI" %>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function changeDDL(sender) {
        alert("This alert pops up. No problems here.");
        fooClbk.Callback(sender, WHAT_DO_I_PUT_HERE );
    }
</script>

<ComponentArt:CallBack id="fooClbk" runat="server" OnCallback="fooClbk_Callback">
    <Content>
        <asp:Label ID="lblmyDDL" AssociatedControlID="myDDL" runat="server" Text="Choose an option: "></asp:Label>
        <br />
        <asp:DropDownList ID="myDDL" runat="server">
            <asp:ListItem Value="DEFAULT" Text="The Default Value"></asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Value="ONE" Text="First!"></asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Value="TWO" Text="Runner up"></asp:ListItem>
        </asp:DropDownList>
    </Content>
    <LoadingPanelClientTemplate>
        <p>Refreshing Rate Information...</p>
    </LoadingPanelClientTemplate>
</ComponentArt:CallBack>

The ascx.cs codebehind contains:

//Some includes...

namespace WebPlugins
{
    public partial class foo : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            initializeDDLEvt();
            //Initialize some other stuff...
        }

        private void initializeDDLEvt()
        {
            /* Register client events for DDL */
            myDDL.Attributes.Add("onChange", "changeDDL(this);");
        }

        protected void fooClbk_Callback(object sender, ComponentArt.Web.UI.CallBackEventArgs e)
        {
            //Render some new HTML using the ComponentArt.Web.UI.CallBackEventArgs
        }
    }
}

UPDATE: After gaining a better understanding of the situation, I've made progress by following advice from @jalpesh in the componentart forum link. This has put me on the right track towards solving the issue.

Answer №1

Answering this question straightforwardly, it seems that the task cannot be accomplished as per the exact wording of the question.

To delve deeper into the issue:

The expectation is that the javascript function would overtly pass the sender and event arguments during callback. However, this is not the scenario. Instead, the javascript function is conveying certain parameters packaged within the event arguments.

The sender (which in this instance is a dropdownlist control) and the CallBackEventArgs are implicitly transferred to the fooClbk_Callback method. This situation may stem from a misinterpretation of the distinction between functions and methods.

Succinctly put, the following code snippet:

function changeDDL(sender) {
    alert("This alert pops up. No problems here.");
    fooClbk.Callback(sender, WHAT_DO_I_PUT_HERE );
}

should ideally resemble something akin to:

function changeDDL(aControl) {
    alert("This alert pops up. No problems here.");
    fooClbk.Callback(aControl.options[aControl.selectedIndex].value); // Or any other relevant parameters
}

The parameters conveyed from the javascript function can be accessed within the callback method as shown below:

protected void fooClbk_Callback(object sender, ComponentArt.Web.UI.CallBackEventArgs e)
{
    //Perform Some operations
    string myVal = e.Parameters[0];
    // Handle the selected myVal accordingly.
}
