Access ReadOnly control in RadGrid

[Jeffrey]

How can I access the value of a READONLY control in a RadGrid?

I tried the code below but it could not find the control.

RadGrid1.items.FindControl("controlename")

However, when I remove the READONLY  property, I am able to find the control.

I will appreciate any help asap.

Thanks
Jeff

Hello Jeffrey,

As far as I understand you need to get the value of the read-only control when an item is put into edit mode. In this case, you can use either of the following approaches:

1. Add the name of the column's DataField to the DataKeyNames of the MasterTableView and then call the GetDataKeyValue method of the grid's edit form item:

for example: ((GridEditableItem)e.Item).GetDataKeyValue("ProductID")

2. Or alternatively, you can use the ExtractValues method of the above item after setting beforehand for the column:  ForceExtractValue="Always".

Hope this information will prove helpful.
