[Solved] Accessing Textbox Control from code

[david ocasio]

Is it possilbe to reference a textbox that has been included in the datatemplate of a celltemplate at runtime
from the rowloaded event. FindName doesn't do it.

my simplified xaml for the column is as so

<telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
    <telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
       <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
            <DataTemplate >
                <TextBox Text="{Binding QtyOnHand,Mode=TwoWay}" TextAlignment="Right"  x:Name="TargetTextBox"  />
            </DataTemplate>
        </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
    </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
</telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>   

thanks

Hi david,

Why not use Loaded event of the TextBox itself? Sender argument of the event handler is the TextBox and you can access your data object using DataContext property.

Well

 

I may be doing something stupid or at least different.

I thought of using the loaded events of the textboxes But I am Inherting your grid
When i declare the event in xaml it assumes the event is in the hosting page.
I would prefer for the event to hit the instance of the inherting class.
So the event code is encapsulated inside my class.

Thus my use of the rowloaded event to try and grab the textbox instead.

is there a way around that
a syntax i am not aware of

Hello david,

In this case you use our powerful extension methods to find desired control in desired cell in RowLoaded event.
