Hi Frank,

Try the following code snippet in order to access the control placed in 'HeaderTemplate' of GridTemplateColumn.

aspx:

 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TempCol">
    <HeaderTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>

    </ItemTemplate>
    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

cs:

    protected void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems( GridItemType.Header)[0];
        TextBox textBox1 = (TextBox)headerItem.FindControl("TextBox1");
        textBox1.Text = "hi";  // Change the text
    }

Here is the code if you want to access the control in ItemDataBound event.
cs:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        {
            GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
            TextBox textBox1 = (TextBox)headerItem.FindControl("TextBox1");
            textBox1.Text = "hi";
        }
    }
