How to access a div that is inside a RadGrid

[Stavros]

I have a div with its own id in the ItemTemplate of a GridTemplateColumn of a RadGrid.
 How can I access this div from the code behind?
If it was a div in the web page I could access it just by typing its id but this method does not work now that it is nested inside the grid.
Thank you very much.

Hello Stavros,

Here is an example of how to access a div inside the TemplateColumn of a Grid:
aspx:

 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
      <ItemTemplate>
            <div id="divlayer" runat="server">
              Hello
            </div>
       </ItemTemplate>
  </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            HtmlGenericControl container = (HtmlGenericControl)item.FindControl("divlayer");
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Thnx a lot but I want to access this div tag(or a panel tag that renders to a div tag) in a

 

protected void Page_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

method of a page.
How can I do that?
Thank you very much for helping me on this.

To be more specific have entered two divs in the Item template and I want to make the visible/invisible by checking some other variables that I pass to my page.
Do you believe that this is possible?
Thank you again.

Hello Stavros,

The proper place to change the visibility of controls which reside in grid rows is the ItemCreated server handler of the grid. There you can find the control in question by its id using the e.Item.FindControl(controlId) method.

Further information about the ItemCreated/ItemDataBound events of RadGrid and the lifecycle of the control you can find in these articles:
