[Solved] Get Value from a Control in RadGrid

[Dany V]

Hi, I'm working with a RadGrid on a web application, and I'm usin the EditFormSettings to customize the Edit Form in my grid, inside I have 2 checkboxes and I would like to get the value of that controls so then when CheckBox1 is True, the other one must be False. I used to do this with a formview typing this code:
Dim CheckBox1 As CheckBox = Ctype(FormView.FindControl("CheckBox1"), CheckBox)

but now with this RadGrid I cant get the value, hope anyone could help me

Hi Daniel,

I guess you are using a FormTemplate EditForm with two CheckBoxes. If so you may try the following code snippet to access the CheckBox from the edit form.

ASPX:

 <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template" >
              <FormTemplate>
                  <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />
                  <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" />
              </FormTemplate>
            </EditFormSettings>

VB:

  Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs)
       If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditFormItem) AndAlso (e.Item.IsInEditMode) Then
            Dim editForm As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditFormItem)
           Dim chkbx1 As CheckBox = DirectCast(editForm.FindControl("CheckBox1"), CheckBox)
            Dim chkbx2 As CheckBox = DirectCast(editForm.FindControl("CheckBox2"), CheckBox)
            chkbx1.Checked = Not chkbx1.Checked

        End If
    End Sub
