Find RadGrid control in TabStrip/Multipage

[Jeff Reinhardt]

Ok,  I have an aspx page with a tabstrip and multipage in it.  There are 3 tabs,  on the second tab there is a radgrid (rgManage).  When this tab is clicked I need to refresh the grid.

protected void radtabCallInOrder_Click(object sender, RadTabStripEventArgs e)
{

      if (e.Tab.Text == "Order Items")

      {

         RadGrid rgManage = (RadGrid)Page.Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1").FindControl("radmultipageCallInOrder").FindControl("rgManage");

  

         if (rgManage != null)

         {

             rgManage.Rebind();

         }

      }

   

  }

I can find the multipage control, but how do I find the radgrid which is in the PageView of the multipage?  The above does not work but it is where I am at.

Hello Jeff,

Actually RadPageView is just a container, so you can access the controls placed in it directly with their ID (you don't need to use FindControl method for the multipage and the pageview).

All the best,

Then how would I address that control without a FindControl?

The pageview loads a user control (ascx) page that has the radgrid on it.  How would I address it without a FindControl?

You would have to search for it inside of the UserControl, if that's where it is. From what I'm seeing, you trying to find the control from inside the RadMultiPage, where it doesn't exist.

It would have to be something like: [UserControl].FindControl("rgManage");

I hope that helps.

This helped me a lot!  Thanks for the advice.  I have a tabstrip with a multipage with grids each in their own usercontrol.  Here's how I did it:

Protected Sub tabstrip_TabClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadTabStripEventArgs) Handles tabstrip.TabClick
        Dim grid As RadGrid
        Select e.Tab.Text
            Case "Tab 1"
                grid = uc1.FindControl("rg1")
                grid.Rebind()
            Case "Tab 2"
                grid = uc2.FindControl("rg2")
                grid.Rebind()
            Case "Tab 3"
                grid = uc3.FindControl("rg3")
                grid.Rebind()
            Case "Tab 4"
                grid = uc4.FindControl("rg4")
                grid.Rebind()
        End Select
    End Sub
