[Solved] Get Reference to the UserControl Within the Grid

[Arlyne]

Hi All,

Is there a way to get the usercontrol within the radgrid on client side? I have searched everywhere and i can't find a way to do it.

Here is the scenario, I have a Radgrid with WebUserControl as the EditMode. Within the usercontrol I call a popup with dropdown on it where the user will be able to select some data. The data that was selected from the popup should be passed to the Editfrom User control Textbox.

I tried using radwindow but it still cannot find the usercontrol. I really need suggestions.

Thank you so much.

Hi Arlyne,

I recommend that you achieve the desired functionality registering for the client-side script for updating the texttbox with the dropdown selected value on ItemCreated/ItemDataBound event. You could do this in the following way:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            (item.FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList).Attributes.Add("onchange", String.Format("updateTextbox('{0}','{1}');", item.FindControl("TextBox1").ClientID, item.FindControl("DropDownList1").ClientID));
        }
    }

Then to set the value of the textbox in Javascript try the below code:

       function updateTextbox(txtBox, ddList) {

            var textBox = $get(txtBox);
            var dropDown = $get(ddList);
            textBox.value = dropDown.value;

        }

I am also attaching a sample project showing how it is done.
