How to get comboBox id in grid itembound event?

[Guruvu]

Hi,

Here is my code:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

   {

       if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)// if EditMode is EditForm or PopUp

       {

           GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

           RadComboBox ddlCity = editItem.FindControl("gvddlPOWCity") as RadComboBox;

           string city = ddlCity.SelectedValue;

           . . . . . . . .

       }

   }

Here,I am getting e.Item.IsInEditMode is always false.I am set the property in MasterTable view as below:

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="POWId" EditMode="EditForms">

Is there any more modifications need to perform.Please tell me...

Thanks...

Hello,


I am not sure about where you placed the RadComboBox, is it inside ItemTemplate or EditItemTemplate?

The code that you tried will work when item in EditMode only and not for the items in normal mode. In the case of you need to access RadComboBox placed in ItemTemplate, then you should use the following code without checking for e.Item.IsInEditMode.

Code:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem) e.Item;
        RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)item.FindControl("RadComboBox1");
    }
}

And the aspx is as shown below:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="CustomerID1" HeaderText="ID">
          <ItemTemplate>
                  <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">
                  </telerik:RadComboBox>
          </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hello guruvu,

Try the following approach.

.aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="MyTemplateColumn">
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="comboBoxClientID" Text="Rad Combo Box">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item1" Value="Item1" />
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item2" Value="Item2" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

.cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
    {
        GridEditFormItem editform = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
        RadComboBox radComboBox = (RadComboBox)editform.FindControl("comboBoxClientID");
        string value = radComboBox.SelectedValue;
    }
}
