GetCellElement / GetRowElement always returning nothing

[Matt]

Hi,

I have a RadGridView control, which has 9 columns, created at design time. The control is being populated with data at run-time.

I am populating the RadGridView by using the Add method:

RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Rows.Add(... some values...)

After populating I am iterating each row in the control as follows:

For Each row As GridViewRowInfo In RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Rows

I want to get the cell element for the second cell, which I believe I have do do with the GetCellElement method:

RadGridView1.TableElement.GetCellElement(row, RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns(1))

However, GetCellElement is always returning Nothing. I can step through the code using the debugger, and both the column and row exist. I have tested GetRowElement, and this also returns nothing.

I need the CellElement as I want to enable and disable the cell based on some criteria. Each row potentially contains child rows.

Why do I always get nothing? Is there a problem with the way I am using GetCellElement, or do I need to iterate the rows differently?

*EDIT* Forgot to say, I am using the latest version of the Telerik controls (Q2 2010 SP2).

Thanks in advance,
Matt.

Hi, 

Because of the new layout system that RadGridView uses you cannot get to the CellElement when iterating over the Grid. You should handle the 
RowFormatting and CellFormatting events on the RadGridView to be able to get to the CellElement. 

Hope that helps
