Ajax extension for each row on gridview

I'm trying to use the animation extension from ajax to populate with data from a selected row in my gridview. Using the code below which I found on the web, it works fine when I select a control that is not part of the gridview. i.e

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkBtnColHelp" runat="server" Text="Click Here" OnClientClick="return false;" />

If I create a column with a button in my gridview and choose the targetcontrolID to be the button, the animation extension does not recognise the control.

Ideally I wouldn't even like to have a button, i would like to select anywhere on the row and then populate the animation with any cell in that row.

Any help would be appreciated.

<asp:AnimationExtender ID="AnimationExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="lnkBtnColHelp">
            <Animations>
                <OnClick>
                    <Sequence>
                        <EnableAction Enabled="false"></EnableAction>
 
                        <StyleAction AnimationTarget="moveMe" Attribute="display" Value="block"/>
                        <Parallel AnimationTarget="moveMe" Duration=".5" Fps="30">
                            <Move Horizontal="0" Vertical="0"></Move>
                            <FadeIn Duration=".5"/>
                        </Parallel>
                        <Parallel AnimationTarget="moveMe" Duration=".5">
                             <Color PropertyKey="color" StartValue="#666666" EndValue="#FF0000" />
                            <Color PropertyKey="borderColor" StartValue="#666666" EndValue="#FF0000" />
                        </Parallel>
                    </Sequence>
                </OnClick>
            </Animations>
       
        </asp:AnimationExtender>
       
        <asp:AnimationExtender ID="AnimationExtender2" runat="server" TargetControlID="lnkBtnCloseColHelp">
       
            <Animations>
                <OnClick>
                    <Sequence AnimationTarget="moveMe">
                        <Parallel AnimationTarget="moveMe" Duration=".7" Fps="20">
                            <Move Horizontal="0" Vertical="0"></Move>
                            <Scale ScaleFactor="0.05" FontUnit="px" />
                            <Color PropertyKey="color" StartValue="#FF0000" EndValue="#666666" />
                            <Color PropertyKey="borderColor" StartValue="#FF0000" EndValue="#666666" />
                            <FadeOut />
                        </Parallel>
                        <StyleAction Attribute="display" Value="none"/>
                        <StyleAction Attribute="height" Value=""/>
                        <StyleAction Attribute="width" Value="400px"/>
                        <StyleAction Attribute="fontSize" Value="14px"/>
                        <EnableAction AnimationTarget="lnkBtnColHelp" Enabled="true" />
                    </Sequence>
                </OnClick>
            </Animations>
       
</asp:AnimationExtender>

I believe that the problem you are having is that the extender needs to find the control, and it can't because the GridView is a naming container, and adds additional parts to the control ID. Look at the render page, and see how the unique ID is generated for each row in the GridView.

Thanks,

Are you able to provide me an example of how to do this please.

Thanks

I can't quite see how the GridView is configured, and what your page hierarchy looks like (master page, panels, etc). Can you show me how the GridView is configured in HTML, please?

Sorry for the late reply, I added an example below, there is one gridview with a few rows that is populated from the code behind. There is also a button on the webpage. Currently when you select the button, the animation extender works, I would like to select the row on the gridview and it do the same thing. That's what I'm struggling with.

I've found a soloution using the code below

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnShowModalPopup" style="display:none"/>

    <asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" 
    TargetControlID="btnShowModalPopup"
    PopupControlID="divPopUp" 
    BackgroundCssClass="popUpStyle" 
    PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDragHandle"
    DropShadow="true">
    </asp:ModalPopupExtender>
<br />
 
<div class="popUpStyle" id="divPopUp" style="display:none;">
    <asp:Panel runat="Server" ID="panelDragHandle" CssClass="drag">
        Hold here to Drag this Box
    </asp:Panel>
    <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblText" Text=""></asp:Label>
    <asp:Label ID="lblCustValue" runat="server"></asp:Label>
    <asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server">
    </asp:GridView>                          
    <asp:Button ID="btnClose" runat="server" Text="Close" />
   <br />
</div>

Open in new window

Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles StockAdjustmentGridView.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim row As GridViewRow = StockAdjustmentGridView.SelectedRow
        StockAdjustmentVendaResults(row)

        lblCustValue.Text = info
        ModalPopupExtender1.Show()


    End Sub
