Access EditForm controls externally

[Jamel]

I'm trying to access EditForm controls from a different method on the same page.

I'm using the following method but I keep getting null for GridEditableItem. Help?

Protected Sub NumericTextBoxChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

    Dim grid As RadGrid = AddEditQuoteFormView.FindControl("ItemsRadGrid")

    Dim editItem As GridEditableItem = CType(grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.EditItem)(0), GridEditableItem)

    Dim lengthNumericTextBox As RadNumericTextBox = CType(editItem("Length").Controls(0), RadNumericTextBox)
    Dim length = lengthNumericTextBox.Value

    CalculateFreightClass(length, width, height, weight)

End Sub

Okay, so I didn't wait for Telerik (frankly it would've been days before anyone on this forum gives me a proper answer). Here is the correct code for anyone who needs help accessing GridEditFormInsertItem controls externally.

Protected Sub NumericTextBoxChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

    ' Find the grid and reference it
    Dim grid As RadGrid = AddEditQuoteFormView.FindControl("ItemsRadGrid")

    ' Here is the correction. This returns a GridEditFormInsertItem with all of the controls that are being edited.
    Dim editItem As GridEditFormInsertItem = grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.EditFormItem)(0)

    ' Find the control and reference it
    Dim lengthNumericTextBox As RadNumericTextBox = CType(editItem("Length").Controls(0), RadNumericTextBox)
    Dim length = lengthNumericTextBox.Value ' Extract the value

    CalculateFreightClass(length, width, height, weight)

End Sub

Hello,

Yes, this is the right approach to access the Grid items from an external method.

Additionally, please note that when you are posting a forum thread you are depending solely on the community and the response time is not guaranteed. Sometimes it could a little longer for the community to respond.

All the best,
