[Azad]

Hi all,
I have some problem with Telerik RadGrid
I want to get control on EditFormSettings.FormTemplate from C# code to can manipulate FormSettings items.
Tanks.

Hi Azad,

Here is an example for ItemCreated/UpdateCommand:

if(e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
{
    Control yourControl = e.Item.FindControl("YourControlID");
}

how do i find the control if i get passed a griddataitem instead from the itemcommand? when i call it from insert, it passes a grideditform item. when i call it from update, it passes a griddataitem.

Hello Areen,

You can set different CommandName for the button in insert/edit form and in ItemCommand event check for the CommandName and access corresponding grid item.

ASPX:

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnLoadBalancer" Text="Get Geographic Data"
CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "GeoLookupInsert" : "GeoLookupUpdate" %>' />

C#:

protected void RadGrid4_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.CommandName == "GeoLookupInsert")
       {
          // button in insert form
       }
       if (e.CommandName == "GeoLookupUpdate")
       {
           // button in edit form
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.

Princy,

While you're feedback is much appreciated, it doesn't answer my question. I did as you suggested and the "Update" path is still returning a GridDataItem to me. how do I get to my form controls from the GridDataItem?

Thanks,
Areen

Hello Scott,

Try the following code.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
 {
   GridEditableItem item=(GridEditableItem)e.Item;
   TextBox txt = (TextBox)item.FindControl("TextBox1");
 }
}
