Adding Control to RadPanel at Runtime

[Savidu]

hi,

I have create a rad panel as below and for the RadPanelBar with the ID "rpbIncludeSections" items are added dynamically.

<telerik:RadPanelBar runat="server" ID="rpbResumeSections" Width="300px" GridLines="Horizontal" >
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadPanelItem ID="rpiResumeSections" runat="server" PreventCollapse="false" Expanded="true" >
                <Items>
                    <telerik:RadPanelItem ID="rpbResumeSectionInfo" runat="server" >
                        <HeaderTemplate>
                            <div style="margin: 10px;">
                                <telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="rcbTemplates" Width="250px" AutoPostBack="true"  OnSelectedIndexChanged="rcbTemplates_OnSelectedIndexChanged"></telerik:RadComboBox>
                            </div>
                        </HeaderTemplate>
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <!--Dynamically generate a rad panel bar -->
                            <div style="margin: 10px;max-height: 200px; overflow:auto;">
                                <telerik:RadPanelBar runat="server" ID="rpbIncludeSections" GridLines="Horizontal" ExpandMode="MultipleExpandedItems" >
                                </telerik:RadPanelBar>
                            </div>

                            <div style="margin:10px;margin-top: 30px; text-align:right;">
                                <telerik:RadButton  ID="btnPreview" runat="server" OnClick="btnPreview_OnClick"></telerik:RadButton>
                                <telerik:RadButton ID="btnSavePublish" runat="server" OnClick="btnSavePublish_OnClick"></telerik:RadButton>
                                <telerik:RadButton ID="btnPrintCV" runat="server" OnClick="btnPrintCV_OnClick"></telerik:RadButton>
                            </div>

                        </ItemTemplate>

                    </telerik:RadPanelItem>
                </Items>
            </telerik:RadPanelItem>
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadPanelBar>

The components added dynimacally is as follows

RadPanelBar _rpbIncludeSections = (RadPanelBar)rpbResumeSectionInfo.FindControl("rpbIncludeSections");

            if (_personID != 0)
            {
                DataSet _Sections = _cvController.GetSectionsFromCVTemplateIDPersonID(int.Parse(e.Value), _personID);

                _rpbIncludeSections.Items.Clear();


                foreach (DataRow _drSection in _Sections.Tables[0].Rows)
                {
                    bool _checked = false;
                    if ((_drSection["Include"].ToString() != "" && bool.Parse(_drSection["Include"].ToString()) == true) || _drSection["Persons_PersonID"].ToString() == "")
                        _checked = true;


                    RadPanelItem _panelItemLvl1 = new RadPanelItem();
                    _panelItemLvl1.Text = _drSection["CV_Section"].ToString();
                    _panelItemLvl1.Selected = true;

                    RadPanelItem _panelItemLvl2 = new RadPanelItem();

                    CheckBox _checkBox = new CheckBox();
                    _checkBox.ID = "Savidu";
                    _checkBox.Checked = _checked;
                    _checkBox.Text = Localization.GetString("Include.Text", this.LocalResourceFile);
                    _checkBox.ToolTip = "Check to Include in ude in CV";
                    _checkBox.CssClass = "MarginLeft";
                    _panelItemLvl2.Controls.Add(_checkBox);

                    _panelItemLvl1.Items.Add(_panelItemLvl2);
                    _rpbIncludeSections.Items.Add(_panelItemLvl1);
                }
            }

This part works fine the issue comes when the button "btnSavePublish" OnClick method i need to find out whether the check box is checked or not.

For this id some thing like

RadPanelBar _rpbIncludeSections = (RadPanelBar)rpbResumeSectionInfo.FindControl("rpbIncludeSections");

Through the Items attribute i am able to find the added panels. I.e since i have added 2 panels i would be able to access them

_rpbIncludeSections.Items[0].Items[0]

But, there is no way for me to access the added checkbox. I tried with the "Controls" attribute as well but it gave no luck.

Thanks Regards,
Savidu
