Getting controls inside EditFormTemplate

[sameer]

Hi Guys,

I have used a RadGrid and trying figure out as to how do i get a reference to the controls in the edit form template.
What i want is when i click the edit button of the RadGrid then on EditCommand event or any other event get the DataKeyValue for the row whose edit is clicked and then get data from database based on that Key and populate the values inside the Edit form template with the Values returned.

If i don't use EditCommand then i can set Values like this:

Now the values in the textbox can be set through

<asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server" Text="<%# Bind('Name') %>" Width="300px"></asp:TextBox>

but how do i set value based on idex to this field

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="Rblpagetype" runat="server">
                                                                    <asp:ListItem>Company1</asp:ListItem>
                                                                    <asp:ListItem>Company2</asp:ListItem>
                                                                    <asp:ListItem>Company3</asp:ListItem>
                                                                </asp:RadioButtonList>

As i am not able to figure out how to do this I thought of using the EditCommand event or any other event but unable to get reference to this controls to set there Values..

Hope you guys getting me.. please reply soon..

Thanx

Hi,

I think you did not understand my question.

What link you have given has control in the Grid Columns and referenceing on ItemCreated event. My situation is :
I have design a Edit Form template which is dispayed when i click edit button on the Grid.. Its a Pop up control. The design is as below

<EditFormSettings>
<PopUpSettings ScrollBars="Vertical" Width="520px" ZIndex="9000" Modal="true" />
   <FormTemplate>
     <table id="Table2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1" width="100%" border="0" rules="none" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin: 10px;">
        <tr>
           <td colspan="2">
               <div class="heading">General</div>
           </td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
            <td>
              Name*(?)
            </td>
            <td>
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" Text="<%# Bind('Name') %>" runat="server" Width="300px"></asp:TextBox>
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
             <td>
             Select Company(?)
             </td>
             <td>
                 <asp:RadioButtonList ID="Rblcompany" runat="server">
                     <asp:ListItem>Company1</asp:ListItem>
                     <asp:ListItem>Company2</asp:ListItem>
                     <asp:ListItem>Company3</asp:ListItem>
              </asp:RadioButtonList>
              </td>
           </tr>
      <table>
   </FormTemplate>
</EditFormSettings>

Now this is Edit Form Template. So when the user clicks the edit button i want to take the data in that Grid row and in fill this above control with that particular rows data.
As you can see i have put  Text="<%# Bind('Name') %>"
for TextBox control but how do i set the data for RadiobuttonList ?
As to how should i check one of them based on the data...?
I think this can be done on server side with OnEditCommand event but then how to reference this above controls so as to bind the data with them ?

Thanx

Hello Sameer,

You can try out the following code to access the RadioButtonList in the EditFormTemplate and then bind it as required.
cs:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            RadioButtonList rdbtnlist = (RadioButtonList)item.FindControl("Rblcompany");
            //code to bind the radiobuttonlist goes here
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
