Hello Zash,
I am not quite sure about the requirement and I suppose you want to execute some client side code when clicking the LinkButtons. If that is the case you can directly attach the client side event and write the code there.
aspx:

<td>
 <asp:LinkButton ID="ButtonEditAll" OnClientClick="CheckSpelling();" runat="server" Text="Edit All" CommandName="EditAll" />
</td>

Javascript:

function CheckSpelling()
   {
  //your code here
   }

If this is not your case, please elaborate the scenario.

Thanks,
Shinu

Yes, we want to execute client code after completing spelling check by RadSpell, and we need to know control client id.  The problem is our link button is in <CommandItemTemplate> of RadGrid, we need to know how to find link button client at server code.  When spelling check comptetes, RadSpell fires  OnClientCheckFinished, then it will execute java script to fire this link button "click" event.  Since this link button is in a template, I need to which event in grid generate this control and I can find its client id.

Thanks

Hello Zash,

If you want to get the LinkButton from client side, try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

<CommandItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="ButtonEditAll" runat="server" Text="Edit All" CommandName="EditAll" />
        <asp:LinkButton ID="ButtonUpdateAll" runat="server" Text="Update All" CommandName="UpdateAll" />
 </CommandItemTemplate>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
       {
           GridCommandItem cmdItem = (GridCommandItem)e.Item;
           LinkButton editbtn = (LinkButton)cmdItem.FindControl("ButtonEditAll");
           LinkButton updatebtn = (LinkButton)cmdItem.FindControl("ButtonUpdateAll");
           editbtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "CheckSpelling(this,'" + updatebtn.ClientID + "');");
       }
   }

Java Script:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function CheckSpelling(editbtn, updatebtn) {
       var updatebutton = document.getElementById(updatebtn);//accessing Update LinkButton
    }
</script>

Hope this helps,

I have a grid in web page.  At that grid, I add an "edit all" button at command template.  When user clicks it, all rows at that grid will be in edit mode.  And another "update all" will update all user's change and update data into database.  That works fine.  Problem comes when I try to add spelling check function to it.

I add spelling check to "update all" and it works, and speeling check "update" button at a grid row and it works fine too.  But when user clicks "edit all" button, all rows in edit mode. "Hidden" controls  are needed for each row to hold "update" button client id, and radajaxmanager needs to add <ajaxsettings> dynamically too.  I want to check with you the way I try to code is right, and please provide me some sample code to accomplish it.

Thanks
