[Solved] Accessing controls in Edit Template

[Sam]

I have a button and a texbox in the Edit Template that I need to access from the code behind. I tried the following code and it didn't work, does anyone have an example of this?

 Dim btn As Button = TryCast(sender, Button)
        Dim btnPanel As Panel = TryCast(btn.Parent, Panel)
        Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = TryCast(btnPanel.NamingContainer, GridDataItem)
        dataItem("Button1").Enabled = False


        Dim txt As TextBox = TryCast(sender, TextBox)
        Dim txtPanel As Panel = TryCast(txt.Parent, Panel)
        Dim dtItem As GridDataItem = TryCast(txtPanel.NamingContainer, GridDataItem)




        If (Utilities.FileExists("GlobalReports\" & dtItem("txtReportFile").Text)) Then
        'Do some stuff
End If

Hello Sam,

If you want to access the textbox or any other control in the EditForm on clicking the EditButton, you can try out the following code:
vb:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditFormItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
        Dim item As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditFormItem)
        Dim txtbx As TextBox = DirectCast(item.FindControl("txtReportFile"), TextBox)
        Dim strtxt As String = txtbx.Text
    End If
End Sub

If you want to access the textbox in the EditForm on clicking a button in the EditForm itself or on TextChanged event, then you can try the following code:
vb:

Dim ctrl As Control = DirectCast(sender, Control)
Dim editItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(ctrl.NamingContainer, GridEditableItem)
Dim txtbx As TextBox = DirectCast(editItem.FindControl("txtReportFile"), TextBox)
Dim strtxt As String = txtbx.Text

Thanks
