Get RadTextBox from RadTextBoxItem

[Marcus]

This must be simple, but I have trouble to get this solved ...

I have a mouse click event proc of which the sender type is a RadTextBoxItem. I need to know the textbox, so type TextBox or RadTextBox. How can this be done?

Hi Marc,

Thank you for writing.

If I understand you correct, you want to get the RadTextBox control from the event handler of the RadTextBoxItem Click event. If this is the case here is a code snippet which demonstrates how to achieve this:

private void TextBoxItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadTextBoxItem textBoxItem = sender as RadTextBoxItem;
    RadTextBoxElement textElement = textBoxItem.FindAncestor<RadTextBoxElement>();
    RadTextBox textBox = textElement.ElementTree.Control as RadTextBox;
}

If this is not what you meant, I would kindly ask you to provide some more details on your case and what you are trying to do.

I am looking forward to you reply.

Kind regards,
