Accessing control values

[Paula]

I want to have a tabstrip with a text box on it but I cant access the value of the textbox in code behind.  What am I missing? This should be simple but I cannot find the answer anywhere.

 

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" runat="server" SelectedIndex="0">

 

 

<Tabs>

 

 

<telerik:RadTab runat="server" Selected="True" Text="test">

 

 

<TabTemplate>

 

 

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ontextchanged="TextBox1_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>

 

 

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" onclick="LinkButton1_Click">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>

 

 

</TabTemplate>

 

 

</telerik:RadTab>

 

 

</Tabs>

 

 

</telerik:RadTabStrip>

 

 

Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

 

 

Dim rad As TextBox = RadTabStrip1.FindControl("TextBox1")

 

Response.Write(rad.Text)

 

End Sub

Hello Paula,

You need to access corresponding RadTab and then use the FindControl() method to get reference to control placed in ItemTemplate.

VB:

Dim tab As RadTab = DirectCast(RadTabStrip1.FindTabByText("test"), RadTab)
Dim rad As TextBox = DirectCast(tab.FindControl("TextBox1"), TextBox)
Response.Write(rad.Text)
