Cannot get textbox.text from EditFormSettings of Radgrid1

[James]

I cannot retrieve the textbox.text from from Editformsettings of the Radgrid1. The string returns empty all the time. What is wrong with the code after researching seems that the way i am doing it is correct. Any suggestions will be appreciated.


CODEBEHIND:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCommand

 

 

If e.CommandName = "PerformInsert" Then

 

 

 

 

 

 

If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditFormItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode) Then

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dim editItem As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditFormItem)

 

 

Dim Mytab As TextBox = DirectCast(editItem.FindControl("tbTabName"), TextBox)

 

 

Dim LocalTab As New SWBC.Weblet.BO.Mortgage.MtgTabs

 

 

        With LocalTab

 

                .TabName = Mytab.Text

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

        End With

 

 

 

 

 

    MyTabsList.Add(LocalTab)

 

End If

 

 

 

 

 

 

End If

Hello James,

Try the following code snippet in ItemCommand to access textbox in FormTemplate.

VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(sender As Object, e As GridCommandEventArgs)
    If e.CommandName = "PerformInsert" Then
        Dim editform As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(DirectCast(e.Item, Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem).EditFormItem, GridEditFormItem)
        Dim txtbx As TextBox = DirectCast(editform.FindControl("tbTabName"), TextBox)
        Dim strtxt As String = txtbx.Text
    End If
End Sub

Thanks,
Princy.

princy this is not working i get the following error:

unable to cast object of type telerik web.ui.Grideditforminsertitem to type telerik.web.ui.griddataitem

Can anyone else offer assistance on this.

Thanks,

James

[Elliott]

instead of

Dim Mytab As TextBox = DirectCast(editItem.FindControl("tbTabName"), TextBox)

try

Dim Mytab As TextBox = DirectCast(editItem("tbTabName").Controls(0), TextBox)

FindControl wasn't working for me

Marianne,

Using Firebug on my firefox webrowser I do see that the  value is being retained on the post back but i am losing it when the page reloads. I have set the enablestateview property on the webpage, radgrid and control to = true. Still to no avial am i able to obtain the value on the RadGrid1_ItemCommand() function. Do you have any ideas how to maintain the value on the postback?

Thanks,

James Arriaga

Hi James,

I reviewed the posts in this thread and I can confirm the code suggested to you is proper. However as it did not help in your case, I suggest that you open a formal support ticket and send us a runnable sample illustrating your scenario and the unexpected behavior.

Kind regards,
Iana
