[Solved] Get item from EditFormSettings FormTemplate

[Davyd]

Hi. I try get item from edit form template, when edit button pressed, to change some of their values.
But I always receive null.
My code:

        {
            if (e.CommandName != RadGrid.EditCommandName) return;
            GridDataItem gridDataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;

            var ddlMachineId = gridDataItem.FindControl("ddlMachineId") as DropDownList;
            var ddlDataAgentID = gridDataItem.FindControl("ddlDataAgentID") as DropDownList;
            var agentsList = gridDataItem.FindControl("agentsList") as ListBox;
            var confResult = gridDataItem.FindControl("confResult") as HyperLink;
            var execResult = gridDataItem.FindControl("execResult") as HyperLink;
            var setupResult = gridDataItem.FindControl("setupResult") as HyperLink;
}

gridDataItem.FindControl return null for all my ids.
Please help.

Hi Davyd,

You can use the ItemDataBound event to get the controls in edit form, the EditCommand event is too early to get the controls. Please try the following approach to access controls in edit mode.

C#:

protected void rgrdSample_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        //Accessing TextBox in editform
        TextBox txtId = (TextBox)editItem.FindControl("txtId");
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy
