Getting controls in detail table item template

[Utkarsh Shigihalli]

Hello,

I have a grid with detail table inside it. I have check box in header column in it which provides "select all" functionality, i.e I want to provide the functionality where clicking on header check box selects all the check box in the column of detail table.
I looked at this Example in the site, but some how I was not able to get the "CheckBox1" control inside item template of the detail table. Please help. Following is the code I have in aspx side.

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" AllowMultiRowSelection="false" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
    ID="radGridChecks" AllowSorting="true" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="7" AllowFilteringByColumn="false"

Hello Utkarsh,

The following code snippet shows how to access the CheckBox inside ItemTemplate of  DetailTable.

C#:

protected void ToggleSelectedState(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      CheckBox headerCheckBox = (sender as CheckBox);
      GridHeaderItem headeritem = (GridHeaderItem)headerCheckBox.NamingContainer;
      GridDataItem parentItem = (GridDataItem)headeritem.OwnerTableView.ParentItem;
      GridTableView detailTable = (GridTableView)parentItem.ChildItem.NestedTableViews[0];
      foreach (GridDataItem dataItem in detailTable.Items)// loops through each DetailTable item
      {
          (dataItem.FindControl("CheckBox1") as CheckBox).Checked = headerCheckBox.Checked;// accessing checkbox in DetailTable
          dataItem.Selected = headerCheckBox.Checked;
      }
  }

Thanks,
