Guys,
Can you please let me know what is the best way to doing this. I have a RadGrid
That uses <FormTemplate> for editing. Inside of that I have another RadGrid and "Save" Button. How can I get an access to a grid that in enbaded inside of the FormTemplate

in code behind, in btnSaveBitData_Click how can I find gvBits. I can do something like

    
            gvBits = (RadGrid)gvPolicyData.MasterTableView.Items[editIndex].EditFormItem.EditFormCell.FindControl("gvPolicyBits");

but it got to be a better way.

    
                <telerik:RadGrid ID="gvMaster" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">  
        
                    <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="SomeId" EditMode="EditForms">  
        
                        <Columns> 
        
                            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Actions" ItemStyle-Width="150px">  
        
                                <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                    <div class="actions_menu" style="width: 150px">  
        
                                        <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkSet" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="edit" 
        
                                            CssClass="float bits" Text="Set "></asp:LinkButton> 
        
                                        <br style="clear: left" /> 
        
                                    </div> 
        
                                </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                <ItemStyle Width="150px" /> 
        
                            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn> 
        
                        </Columns> 
        
                        <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">  
        
                            <FormTemplate>

                                        OnNeedDataSource="gvBits_NeedDataSource">  
        
                                        <MasterTableView> 
        
                                            <Columns> 
        
                                                <telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                                                </telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                                            </Columns> 
        
                                        </MasterTableView> 
        
                                    </telerik:RadGrid>

Hello Orest,

It seems that you use one valid approach to reference the nested grid inside the FormTemplate custom edit form of the outer grid.

An alternative solution would be to get reference to the respective GridEditableItem instance through the NamingContainer and call the FindControl(controlId) method for it. See the implementation from this online example for more details.
