find the type of control in template column

[Prathibarani]

Hi,
We are using radgrid latest version. We have a global routine used to loop thru rows of grid. THis is used in multiple page. On some page, grid has templated column with textbox and on other pages, grid tempate column has checkboxes. So, when grid is passed to global routine and loop thru rows, I need to check for templated column control type. If it is checkbox, I need to do some logic and if it is textbox, I need to do some other logic. Please let me know how to write code. FindControl expects ID. I know the id of both controls, but I don't know which one to use.
Something similar this

 

 

foreach (GridDataItem row in radGrid1.Items)
{
   //get the type of control
   Control ctl = typeof(row.findcontrol(...);
   if typeof(ctl) is Checkbox
    //do something
   if type(ctl) is TextBox
     //do something else.
}

This logic needs to be in global routine outside radgrid events.
Thank You

Hi Prathibarani,

Please try the following code snippet to find the type of control in Template column. I have used a button which is outside the RadGrid to access the controls.

C#:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string value, ColType, Id  ;
    foreach (GridColumn column in RadGrid1.Columns)
    {
        if (column.GetType().Name == "GridTemplateColumn")
        {
            foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
            {
                foreach (Control control in item[column.UniqueName].Controls)
                {
                     ColType = control.GetType().Name;
                     Id = control.ID;
                    if (ColType.Equals("CheckBox"))
                    {
                     value = ((CheckBox)(control)).Checked.ToString();
                    }
                    if (ColType.Equals("TextBox"))
                    {
                     value = ((TextBox)(control)).Text;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
