How to get client-side reference to telerik control in Command Template of a RadGrid

[ToltingColtAcres]

I need to get a reference to a telerik control contained in the commanditemtemplate of a radgrid using javascript.

Given the following:

<CommandItemTemplate>
<asp:Table>
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell>
<telerik:RadComboBox runat=server ID="RadComboBox_CommandItem">

How would I get the reference to the ComboBox?

 

I've tried window.$find, $telerik.findControl and $telerik.findElement, but I keep getting a " CS0103: The name 'RadComboBox_CommandItem' does not exist in the current context"

Hello Michael,

You can obtain a reference to the controls inside the CommandItemTemplate by using the $get() command to find the Grid and then use the $telerik.findControl() method:

<script>
    function pageLoadHandler() {       
        var grid = $get("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>"); 
        var combo = $telerik.findControl(grid, "RadComboBox_CommandItem"); // Pass the ID of the control you want to find, which is inside the Grid
        var comboElement = combo.get_element(); // Get the html element of the control
    }
    Sys.Application.add_load(pageLoadHandler);  
</script>

I hope this helps you out.

Kind regards,
Vasko
