Accessing Control in Form Template

[jpchenot]

Hi.

I have a form template inside my radgrid.

On ItemDatabound, I would like to access a button in this form template in order to register it fot an asyncpostback with the scriptmanager. But I cannot find it.

Here is the code I use:

Protected Sub grMessages_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles grMessages.ItemDataBound
        If TypeOf (e.Item) Is GridDataItem Then
            Dim messageID As Integer = e.Item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues(e.Item.ItemIndex)("MessageID")
            Dim senderID As Integer = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "FromID")
            Dim read As String = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "Read")

            Dim lblSender As Label = e.Item.FindControl("lblSender")

            Dim query = (From tbl In db.tbl_UserProfiles Where tbl.UserID = senderID _
                         Select tbl.UserName).FirstOrDefault

            lblSender.Text = query

            If read = "False" Then
                e.Item.Style.Add("font-weight", "bold")
            End If

        ElseIf TypeOf (e.Item) Is GridEditFormItem Then
            Dim btnInsert As ImageButton = e.Item.FindControl("btnInsert")

            If Not btnInsert Is Nothing Then
                Dim script As ScriptManager =     Master.FindControl("ScriptManager1")
                script.RegisterAsyncPostBackControl(btnInsert)
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

But the button always commes back as nothing.

Any help would be highly appreciated...

Hi Jean,

Here is the code I tried to access a button in the FormTemplate.

ASPX:

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template" >
                 <FormTemplate>
                     <asp:Button ID="Button4" runat="server" Text="Button" />
                  </FormTemplate>
             </EditFormSettings>

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            Button btn=(Button)editItem.FindControl("Button4");
         }
   }

Thanks

Thank you very much.

I was missing the check for the edit mode...
