Accessing GridDropDownColumn client

[Gerry Polami]

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn
              UniqueName="ISHUR" DataField="ISHUR" HeaderText="MyIshur" DropDownControlType="DropDownList"
                   DataSourceID="objdsIshur" ListTextField="Text" ListValueField="Key"/>

Hi All,
I have a radgrid that one of his columns is GridDropDownColumn 
I want to access the GridDropDownColumn in client side  and get the selected index when i move to edit mode.
Note that the DropDownControlType property is set to DropDownList and not to RadComboBox/
Thank,
Gerry

Hello Gerry,

You can easily achieve this by using the RadComboBox as DropDownControlType. Attach the OnClientLoad for the RadComboBox  like below and access the index value from client side.

aspx:

  protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
     if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
           GridEditFormItem edititemForCombo = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
           GridEditManager editMan = edititemForCombo.EditManager;
           GridDropDownListColumnEditor editor = (GridDropDownListColumnEditor)(editMan.GetColumnEditor("ISHUR"));
           RadComboBox radComboScheduleType = editor.ComboBoxControl;
           radComboScheduleType.OnClientLoad="onClientLoad";
        }
    }

JavaScript:

function onClientLoad(sender, args)
    {
        alert(sender._selectedIndex);
    }

corresponding aspx will be:

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn UniqueName="ISHUR" DataField="ISHUR" HeaderText="MyIshur" DropDownControlType="RadComboBox" DataSourceID="objdsIshur" ListTextField="Text" ListValueField="Key"/>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi,
Thanks but i  want to stay with the DropDownList  as DropDownControlType.
Do you have a solution for it ?
