I have xaml code setup for grid view and have combo box in it. I would like to get the reference of combo box during runtime when user clicks on the row. I have the OnGridViewRowSelection event setup. I have already tried FindName methods on cell, row and grid to find the combo box, but on each case I am keep on getting null reference for comboBox.

Thanks,
Amit

Hi,

You can use our extension methods to achieve your goal. Here is an example:

XAML
    <telerikGrid:RadGridView MouseLeftButtonUp="RadGridView_MouseLeftButtonUp">
            <telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerikGrid:GridViewColumn>
                    <telerikGrid:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <ComboBox Name="MyCombo">
                                <ComboBox.Items>
                                    <ComboBoxItem Content="1" />
                                    <ComboBoxItem Content="2" />
                                    <ComboBoxItem Content="3" />
                                </ComboBox.Items>
                            </ComboBox>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerikGrid:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerikGrid:GridViewColumn>
            </telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerikGrid:RadGridView>

C#
       private void RadGridView_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            var clickedElement = e.OriginalSource as UIElement;
            if (clickedElement != null)
            {
                var row = clickedElement.ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();
                if (row != null)
                {
                    var combo = row.ChildrenOfType<ComboBox>().Where(c => c.Name == "MyCombo").FirstOrDefault();
                }
            }
        }

Sorry to dig up an old thread but when I try the above, I get an error on :

var row = clieckedElement.ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();

the type or namespace "GridViewRow" could not be found.

Probably missing something easy/obvious, please help.
