FindControl GridTemplateColumn Outside of radGrid Events

[Justin]

I have my own method and I am trying to findcontrol on a control inside the GridTemplateColumn, so I am doing it outside of the events for the radGrid. Is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks!

Hello Justin,

You can try the following code snippet to access the controls in a GridTemplateColumn.
C#:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)
 {
   LinkButton lbtn = (LinkButton)item["ColUniqueName"].FindControl("LinkButton1");
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi,

Try the following.
C#:

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        foreach (GridNestedViewItem nestedView in RadGrid2.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView))
        {
            RadGrid gridPaperCost1 = (RadGrid)nestedView.FindControl("RadGrid33");
            foreach (GridDataItem item in gridPaperCost1.Items)
            {
                TextBox lbtn = (TextBox)item.FindControl("textbox2");

hi,
   i tried with your code..But the control did not enter into  the Below loop atleast  once.
So please help me...
foreach (GridDataItem item in gridPaperCost1.Items)

            {

                TextBox lbtn = (TextBox)item.FindControl("textbox2");

            }

Hi,

The above code is working as expected in my end. If the button is inside nestedview, you can access the row using NamingContainer and then access the inner grid using findcontrol method. If the button is outside the grid, loop through the nested item and get reference to the controls. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Shinu
