[Solved] Grid Controls inside EditFormTemplate

[SDI]

I have a Parent grid that is editable with multiple controls in its <FormTemplate> and one of them is another Grid that is also editable. I cant seem to find the control inside the child Grid when it is in edit mode with JavaScript.

So i have a button that sets the date to another control in the child Grid. Function runs but cant even find the child Grid, therefore its controls.

function OnClientClickedSetDateToday(sender, args) {
var myGrid = $find('<%= RadGridMaster.ClientID%>').get_masterTableView().get_editItems()[0].findControl('RadGridSub');
}

 the variable myGrid is always NULL.Once it is found can i find the controls the same way?

function OnClientClickedSetDateToday(sender, args) {

 

// find the RadDateTimePicker inside the Child grid in the EditFormTemplate of the Parent Grid EditFormTemplate

var myRadDateTimePicker = $find('<%= RadGridMaster.ClientID%>').get_masterTableView().get_editItems()[0].findControl('RadGridSub').get_masterTableView().get_editItems()[0].findControl
('RadDateTimePickerTodayDate');

 

// need to set current date

var myTodayDate = new Date();

myRadDateTimePicker.set_selectedDate(myTodayDate);

 

}

code for Grids - need to find that RadDateTimePickerTodayDate control! Thanks!!!

resorted to setting a js variable to the raddatetimepicker on the client-load event for the dateinput property. in the click function we referenced the variable and set the date to date desired.
