Hi, I'm using the webcontrols toolbar. Is it possible to cancel the
postback which drives the server-side events by using some client-side
javascript, something along the lines of
    window.event.returnValue = window.confirm('test1');
within the onclick= or onbuttonclick= of the toolbar?

When I try to add my own script to the onbuttonclick :
<%@ Register TagPrefix="iewc" Namespace="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls"
Assembly="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls, Version=1.0.2.116,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" %>
<iewc:toolbar id="tbTest" runat="server" onbuttonclick="test();">
    <iewc:toolbarbutton text="165" imageurl="../../../images/btn_new.gif"
id="btnTest"></iewc:toolbarbutton>
</iewc:toolbar>

it causes an error:
Compiler Error Message: CS1026: ) expected

Yet when I remove the onbuttonclick handler, the HTML rendered to the
browser contains an onbuttonclick handler with all the postback logic:
onbuttonclick="JScript:if (event.srcNode != null) if
((event.srcNode.getType() != 'checkbutton') ||
(event.srcNode.getAttribute('_autopostback') != null)) if
(getAttribute('_submitting') != 'true'){setAttribute('_submitting',
'true');try{__doPostBack('Panel1$tbPanelToolbar',event.flatIndex);}catch(e){setAttribute('_submitting',
'false');}}"

So I just want to interject in front of the canned script. Is that
possible?

you are on the right track, but you will need to return false from the
function to suppress it.
onbuttonclick="test();" return false; roughly
Show quoteHide quote'true');try{__doPostBack('Panel1$tbPanelToolbar',event.flatIndex);}catch(e){
setAttribute('_submitting',
Show quoteHide quote

Hi Alvin, I am returning false from my function but that doesn't really
matter since the javascript won't compile, as per the message "Compiler
Error Message: CS1026: ) expected". It seems that it is not possible to
specify the onbuttonclick handler in the tag because the IEWC doesn't
support this. That is the crux of my question.
