How do I access the insert textbox programmatically when you click Add New Record

[Richard]

I have to set the insert paramaters through the InsertCommand Event of the radgrid and need to get the value of the texbox that shows after you click "Add New Record".  How do I get the value from the textbox?

Thank you for the links to the examples.  They are helpful but a little over my head with the knowledge I have right now.

If you view the attached jpg, you will see what I am trying to do.  I have a grid that has the "Add new record" button clicked showing teh textbox with Role: [TextBox] and the checkbox and cancel buttons below it.  When I click the checkbox button, I am firing the InsertCommand that uses an objectdatasource with three parameters (applicationId, applicationName, rolename).  roleName needs to be the value of the textbox.

My grid is called gvRoles.
My objectdatasource is called dsSecurity.

Is there just a couple of lines of code that I can use to get this value?

        protected void gvRoles_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            //I need code here to retrieve the value of the textbox

            dsSecurity.InsertMethod = "InsertRole";

            String applicationId = cmbApplications.SelectedValue;
            String applicationName = cmbApplications.SelectedItem.Text;
            String roleName = "I need to set the role name from the textbox";
            dsSecurity.InsertParameters["applicationId"].DefaultValue = applicationId;
            dsSecurity.InsertParameters["applicationName"].DefaultValue = applicationName;
            dsSecurity.InsertParameters["roleName"].DefaultValue = roleName;

            gvRoles.DataBind();
        }

Hello Richard,

Depending on your scenario, you could extract the values or get them from the edit controls:

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

    //Approach 1 - extract the value
    Hashtable table = new Hashtable();
    item.ExtractValues(table);
    var myValue = table["MyDataField"];

    //Approach 2 - get the value from the control
    RadTextBox tbox = item.FindControl("MyTextBox") as RadTextBox;
    var myValue2 = tbox.Text;
}
