[Solved] How to get the elements of a new row in a grid at client side?

[Yu]

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="MyColumn" DataField="MyColumn">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbMyList" runat="server"
            OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="MyListChanged" >
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

A master view of a gird is set to EditMode="InPlace" and InsertItemDisplay="Bottom". Suppose a new row has been added by clicking a button and the new row looks like just another "existing" row.

What I need is, updating other elements in the new row when the index of a combo box in the new row is changed, and all things should be done at client side.

I tried to set up a client event handler but I don't know how to get the elements in the new row in my event handler (javascript). I would say my javascript works for existing rows - I can get any row from the object "sender.get_parent()" - but it doesn't work for the new row.

Any idea about this problem?

Hello,

One suggestion is saving ColumnUniqueName and containing control's ClientID in array. Which means mapping between the client ID and the columnuniquename. In the ItemCreated event, get reference to the editform and iterate through the controls inside. Now save the ColumnUniqueName and ClientIDs in the client array. Attach a client side method also to get the ClientID.

The same approach is shown here in this link:

Master Pages and JavaScript document.getElementById

 

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't try your solution but I appreciate your quick response that makes me feel good, as someone is helping me and trying to work out a solution. :-)

I eventually worked out a solution - not the best but enough for now (doesn't work in firefox) - get the "<tr>" element in the grid by looking for the sender's parent elements and go through all cells in the row, then find the element that I need in table cell.

I hope there would be a "offical" support for the feature that we were just talking about in telerik radgrid, which could make our life easier...
