[Solved] checkboxlist in command template problem

[Lee Malo]

I currently have the following code working

 

<CommandItemTemplate>

 

 

<div id="list_countries" onmouseover="mouseover()" onmouseout="mouseout()" >

 

 

<asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged">

 

 

</asp:CheckBoxList>

 

 

</div>
<CommandItemTemplate>


which runs this

 

protected

 

void CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

 

 

CheckBoxList cbList = sender as CheckBoxList;

 

 

 

foreach

 

(ListItem listItem in cbList.Items)

 

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns[cbList.Items.IndexOf(listItem)].Display = listItem.Selected;

}

This works great but I need to change it so instead of OnSelectedIndexChanged it runs off of a button like so
<CommandItemTemplate>

<

 

div id="list_countries" onmouseover="mouseover()" onmouseout="mouseout()" >

 

 

<asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server" >

 

 

</asp:CheckBoxList>

 

 

</div>

 

 

<div class="commandmiddle">

 

 

<asp:Button ID="Button5" runat="server" Text="Show/Hide Columns" OnClick="CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged"> />

 

 

</div>
</CommandItemTemplate>

but I cant get the checkboxlist control in the CheckBoxList1_SelectedIndexChanged function if its from the button

what should I do?

Hello,

You can access the CheckBoxList placed in CommandItemTemplate using the following code.

CS:

    protected void Button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridCommandItem commandItem = (GridCommandItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.CommandItem)[0];
        CheckBoxList cbList = (CheckBoxList)commandItem.FindControl("CheckBoxList1");

        foreach (ListItem listItem in cbList.Items)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns[cbList.Items.IndexOf(listItem)].Display = listItem.Selected;
        }
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }
