GridTemplateColumn checkbox uncheck another checkbox in row

[Tash]

What I am trying to do is uncheck another checkbox in the same row. I want to have a subscribe and unsubscribe checkbox columns. So when you click on subscribe the unsubscribe checkbox should uncheck and vise versa. I found a lot of entries that are similar in the forums but didnt come across anything in this. Found something in the old ASP forum but its not working. Below is what I ahve.

VB code in the page. 

Private Sub grdPubList_ItemCreated(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles grdPubList.ItemCreated
      If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
          Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
          Dim chk1 As CheckBox = DirectCast(item.FindControl("radchkSubscribe"), CheckBox)
          Dim chk2 As CheckBox = DirectCast(item.FindControl("radchkUnsubscribe"), CheckBox)
          'Dim chk3 As CheckBox = DirectCast(item.FindControl("CheckBox3"), CheckBox)
          chk1.Attributes.Add("onclick", (("checkUncheck('" + chk1.ClientID & "','") + chk2.ClientID & "',')"))

      End If
  End Sub

Javascript in masterpage. Though i think the ch2.checked should be false in the if and true in the else.

<script type="text/javascript">
       function checkUncheck(c1, c2) {
           var ch1 = document.getElementById(c1);
           var ch2 = document.getElementById(c2);

           if (ch1.checked) {
               ch2.checked = true;

           }
           else {
               ch2.checked = false;

           }
       }
   </script>

Hi Tash,

Have you verified that the javascript event is being hit when the checkboxes are checked/unchecked? If you don't have a preference to changing the checked state client side vs server side, you could subscribe to the OnCheckedChanged event of each checkbox and change it there.

I believe that something like the following would work.

I hope this helps!

protected void radchkSubscribe_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CheckBox cbSubscribe= (CheckBox)sender;
        GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)cbSubscribe.NamingContainer;
        CheckBox cbUnsubscribe= (CheckBox)dataItem.FindControl("radchkUnsubscribe");
       if (cbSubscribe.Checked)
      {
          cbUnsubscribe.Checked = false;
      }
      else
      {
         cbUnsubscribe.Checked = true;
      }
    }
