so theres my toolbar

im using:

RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)_toolbar.FindControl("comboBox");

to find the RadComboBox.

no luck. returns null everytime. suggestions?

completed using

RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)_toolbar.Controls[5].Controls[1];

im really not sure why the FindControl could not locate it. perhaps it does not access controls through the <ItemTemplate> ?

Hello Brad,

You can access the RadComboBox in the ItemTemplate of RadToolBarButton using FindControl method as shown below:
cs:

foreach (RadToolBarButton btn in RadToolBar1.Items)
        {
            RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)btn.FindControl("comboBox");

        }

Thanks
Princy.
