FindControl in child DetailTable

[John Martin]

Hi there

I am currently finding controls with the following method:

Dim

parentItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.DetailTableView.ParentItem, GridDataItem)

Me

.dsResellerDetails.SelectParameters.Add("mkOrderId", CType(parentItem.FindControl("lblID"), Label).Text)

However I need to get a text value from a gridview within a child DetailTable gridview?

i.e. I have expanded a record then expanded details within that expansion and need to FindControl at that level.

Many thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

Set the Name property for the detail table and try accessing the control in the detail table in the ItemDataBound event as shown below.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView  CommandItemDisplay="Top"    TableLayout="fixed"   Name="Master" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" >

<DetailTables>

<telerik:GridTableView runat="server" Name="Detail1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"  >

<DetailTables>

<telerik:GridTableView runat="server" Name="Detail2" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3">

<Columns>

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TempCol" HeaderText="TempCol" DataField="ProductName" >

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("ProductName") %>'></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

</Columns>

</telerik:GridTableView>

</DetailTables> ...... ........

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if( (e.Item is GridDataItem)&&(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail2"))
        {
            GridDataItem item=(GridDataItem)e.Item;
            Label lbl = (Label)item["TempCol"].FindControl("Label2");
            string strtxt = lbl.Text;
        }
    }

Thanks
Shinu.
