ASPxDockManager.ClientInstanceName Property
Gets or sets the ASPxDockManager‘s client programmatic identifier.
Namespace: DevExpress.Web
Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| String | String.Empty | A string value that specifies the ASPxDockManager‘s client identifier. |
Remarks
Use the ClientInstanceName property to specify a unique client-side identifier for the ASPxDockManager control. The ClientInstanceName property’s value can be used on the client side to programmatically access the client object rendered for the ASPxDockManager control in client-side script. This property is particularly important in referencing the ASPxDockManager control when it is contained within a naming container (for example, within an ASPxPageControl‘s page or an ASPxPopupControl‘s window).
If the ClientInstanceName property is not specified for a control, the control’s client identifier is generated automatically, and equals the value of the control’s ID property. Note that in this case, client-side programmatic access to the control is not allowed when the control is contained within a naming container.
Special Characters in Client Instance Name
If the ClientInstanceName property contains special characters, for instance, the dot (.), you cannot access a client object by this name. Call the GetByName(name) method to retrieve the client-side object instead.
<dx:ASPxTextBox ... ClientInstanceName="SomeType.SomeProp" />
var txt = ASPxClientControl.GetControlCollection().GetByName("SomeType.SomeProp");
txt.SetText("Some Text");
Example
The code sample below demonstrates how you can get a list of docked panels contained within a page.
function IsDockedPredicate (panel) {
return panel.IsDocked();
}
function GetDockedPanelsList () {
var DockedPanels = manager.GetPanels(IsDockedPredicate);
var PanelList = '';
for ( i=0; i < DockedPanels.length; i++){
PanelList = PanelList + ' ' + DockedPanels[i].panelUID;
}
label.SetText('Docked panels:' + PanelList);
}
