How can I get the RadGrid row's DataKeyValue on SelectedIndexChanged of RadComboBox ?

[Abitar]

Hello,  

I have RadComboBox inside A RadGrid Batch. I need to get DataKeyValue of the row on SelectedIndexChanged of the RadComboBox.

I tried to use : RadComboBox.Parent to get the GridDataItem also I tried RadComboBox.NamingContainer. Both methods didn't work.

Thanks for helping.

Hello Abitar,

Thank you for contacting us.

With Batch edit mode, the grid will generate only one editor for the entire column and that editor will be placed in the currently edited cell. Furthermore, handling server-side events of the editors is not supported scenario, because the editing is performed entirely on the client-side. 

If you need to get reference to a data field value of the item, you should include that data field in the ClientDataKeyNames collection and handle the client-side change event of the RadComboBox. Within that event you can find the TR element corresponding to the item and through its id property you can find the client object of the GridDataItem and retrieve the data field that you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Hello Konstantin,

Thank you for you reply.

 I solved the problem by generating a sort of Guid Column for each RadGrid Row as DataKeyValue, 

Then On RadComboBox Client Focus, I set that Guid to a hidden field value,

Now I can man identify the DataKeyValue of my RadGrid Row on server side.

Thanks again.
