Accessing controls in EditForm Template New Record

[Ric]

Hello All,

Hopefully this has an easy solution. I'm using a RadGrid with an EditForm (EditFormType="Template"). In that form I have a dropdownlist and several other fields. Depending on the value selected in the ddl, I need to enable or disable certain validators. the following code for SelectedIndexChanged works when in edit mode, but does not when in insert mode. How do I get it to fire for Insert as well as Edit?

 

    Protected Sub lstContactType_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

        For Each item As GridDataItem In gridEmpContacts.EditItems
            ' Access your textbox here
            Dim rfv1 As RequiredFieldValidator = TryCast(item.EditFormItem.FindControl("rfvSSN"), RequiredFieldValidator)
            Dim rfv2 As RequiredFieldValidator = TryCast(item.EditFormItem.FindControl("rfvPctBene"), RequiredFieldValidator)
            Dim rfv3 As RequiredFieldValidator = TryCast(item.EditFormItem.FindControl("rfvContactDoB"), RequiredFieldValidator)
            Dim listbox As DropDownList = DirectCast(sender, DropDownList)

            Select Case listbox.SelectedValue
                Case "401K/Profitsharing - Primary", "401K/Profitsharing - Secondary", "Life - Primary", "Life - Secondary", "AD&D - Primary", "AD&D - Secondary"
                    rfv1.Enabled = True
                    rfv2.Enabled = True
                    rfv3.Enabled = True
                Case Else
                    rfv1.Enabled = False
                    rfv2.Enabled = False
                    rfv3.Enabled = False
            End Select
        Next




    End Sub

Hi Ric,

Note that the EditItems collection includes only the items that are in edit mode. The insert item is not included in it. If you would like to get the insert item you would need to use the GetInsertItem() method of the GridTableView.

If RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted Then


    Dim insertItem = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetInsertItem()

    ' add custom logic here
End If
