I would appreciate help in getting following scenario working:
On Page_Init, RadGrid is created, with GridTemplateColumn. For this column, I need RadAutoCompleteBox in its EditItemTemplate.
1. Since EditItemTemplate does not exist untill Edit button is clicked ( "Unable to cast object of type 'Util.MyRadAutoCompleteTemplate' to type 'System.Web.UI.IBindableTemplate'"), I set the custom template as ItemTemplate.
2. When ItemTemplate is created (Page_Init), I set the DataSource
3. I tried both InputTypes, text and token
4. ViewState is enabled
Result is no lookup happens. I read about supplying the input text to data source query on the Page_Load manually, however I don't see this working with a dynamically created RadGrid.
Previous attempt includes, creating empty GridTemplateColumn on Page_Init, and adding RadAutoCompleteBox on grid_ItemCreated if in edit mode. In this scenario, item is populated correctly on load, I am able to set selected value on edit item, but main problem still remains, querying does not work.
Thanks.

Hello Michael,
I can suggest you to refer to our help article, where you could observe how to instantiate the EditItemTemplate in the Page_Init event. In addition, if this does not help, I would like to ask you to open a support ticket, along with a runnable sample attached, which demonstrates the exceptions you had faced.
Kind regards,
