ObjectList.ShowItemCommands Event

 

Occurs before the commands related to an item in an ObjectList are shown. This API is obsolete. For information about how to develop ASP.NET mobile applications, see the www.asp.net/mobile Web site.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.MobileControls
Assembly:  System.Web.Mobile (in System.Web.Mobile.dll)

Public Event ShowItemCommands As ObjectListShowCommandsEventHandler

The event argument contains a reference to the item and to the collection of commands. An event handler can customize the collection according to the item. Applications can use the ShowItemCommands event to provide functionality equivalent to item-specific shortcut menus. Changes made to the collection of commands during this event are not persisted.

This event is called after the ItemSelect event is called. You can use this event to perform other tasks before showing the detail view. You can add, remove, or rearrange fields, depending on the item selected in the list view.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ShowItemCommands event to remove an item from the ObjectListCommandCollection of the detail view of an ObjectList. The item to remove is selected in the list view.
