[Solved] Accessing a RadEditor inside a FormTemplate

[Suresh Mishra]

Hi,
I am trying to access a RadEditor inside a FormTemplate.  when I examine the content property of the RadEditor, it is spaces.  Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks!

vb Code Behind:

 

Protected Sub btnUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

 

 

Dim s As String

 

s =

""

 

 

For Each item As GridEditableItem In RadGridEmpData.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.EditFormItem)

 

 

If item.IsInEditMode Then

 

 

Dim objRadEditor As RadEditor

 

objRadEditor =

CType(item.FindControl("RadEditorNotes"), RadEditor)

 

s = objRadEditor.Content

 

 

End If

 

 

Next

 

 

End Sub

Hello Suresh,

You are trying to access the contents too early. I recommend you try slightly different approach:

    Protected Sub RadGridEmpData_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGridEmpData.ItemDataBound
        If e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
            Dim s As String
            s = ""
            Dim objRadEditor As RadEditor
            objRadEditor = CType(e.Item.FindControl("RadEditorNotes"), RadEditor)
            s = objRadEditor.Content
        End If
    End Sub
