CheckBox in TemplateColumne

[Jostein Solstad]

Hi!

I have a checkbox inside a templatecolumn

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
   <HeaderTemplate>
       <input onclick="CheckAll(this);" type="checkbox">
   </HeaderTemplate>
   <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:CheckBox ID="cbApproved" runat="server" />
   </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Now, in the UpdateCommand of the Grid, I would like to access the CheckBox from the ItemTemplate. This is because when you go into Edit Mode, the column for the CheckBox is still visible and clickable. So I woul like to check if the user has changed this value.

Id this is not posible, is it possible to lock the checkbox for the ItemTemplate when in edit mode?

Hello Jostein,

You can access the CheckBox as shown below.

C#

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
  {
   if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)//EditMode=editform
      {
          GridEditFormItem edititem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
          GridDataItem dataitem = (GridDataItem)edititem.ParentItem;
          CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)dataitem.FindControl("CheckBox1");
      }
  }

Thanks,
Shinu.

Ok, I can use that to disable the CheckBox.

But, how can I access this CheckBox in the UpdateCommand of the grid? Is that possible?

Hi Jostein,

You can try the code snippet below:
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
       CheckBox checkbox = (CheckBox)grdElenco.Items[i].FindControl("cbApproved");
   }
