Find control in Rad Grid

[Edward]

Hi All

I need some advice on RAD Grid. I am using edit form template within Rad Grid and within Edit form template I have a panel and a check box. My requirement is I want to enable or disable the panel depending upon the checkbox change. I want to enable the panel when checkbox is selected and disable the panel when checkbox is not seletected.

This is what i am trying to do

    Protected Sub chkEnablePanel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

        Dim chkEnablePanel As CheckBox = CType(sender, CheckBox)

        Dim contactPanel As Panel = CType(RadGridAccContacts.FindControl("Panel1"), Panel)

        If chkEnablePanel.Checked = True Then

            contactPanel.Enabled = True

        Else

            contactPanel.Enabled = False

        End If

    End Sub

<asp:CheckBox ID="chkActivateContact" runat="server" Visible="False" Font-Bold="true"  AutoPostBack="true"

                                        ForeColor="Red" Text="Re-Activate Contact" OnCheckedChanged="chkEnablePanel"  />

Please advice how to find out the child control in edit form template of Rad Grid.

Thanks

Hello Edward,

In order to get the control in edit form, first access the edit form using NamingContainer property of the CheckBox. Then access the control(Panel) using FindControl method. Check out the following code snippet.

VB.Net:

Protected Sub chkEnablePanel(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim chkEnablePanel As CheckBox = DirectCast(sender, CheckBox)
    Dim editItem As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(chkEnablePanel.NamingContainer, GridEditFormItem)
    Dim contactPanel As Panel = DirectCast(editItem.FindControl("Panel1"), Panel)
    contactPanel.Enabled = chkEnablePanel.Checked
End Sub

Thanks,
Princy.
