Listbox inside grid

[maha]

I have 2 listbox inside the grid as shown below

<

td width="90%">

<table width="95%" border="1">

<tr>

<td>

<span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 10pt"></span>

<%

--<asp:Label ID="lblAccountNumber" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("AccountNumber") %>'

Font-Bold="true" Font-Size="10"></asp:Label>--

%>

<br />

<asp:ListBox ID="lbAllAccountNumbers" runat="server" Width="300" Height="200" SelectionMode="Multiple">

</asp:ListBox>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<ajaxToolkit:ListSearchExtender ID="SearchAllAccount" TargetControlID="lbAllAccountNumbers"

runat="server">

</ajaxToolkit:ListSearchExtender>

<asp:ImageButton ID="btnSelect" ImageUrl="~/images/right.jpg" ImageAlign="Middle" runat="server" OnClick="btnSelect_Click" />

<asp:ImageButton ID="btnUnselect" ImageUrl="~/images/left.jpg" ImageAlign="Middle" runat="server" OnClick="btnUnselect_Click" />

<ajaxToolkit:ListSearchExtender ID="SearchAvailableAccounts" TargetControlID="lbAvailableAccountNumbers"

runat="server">

</ajaxToolkit:ListSearchExtender>

<asp:ListBox ID="lbAvailableAccountNumbers" runat="server" Width="300" Height="200"

SelectionMode="Multiple"></asp:ListBox>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>
The above code is in EditFormSettings tab.
When edit button is clicked iam loading two listboxes with some data.
In between those two listboxes , i have two buttons which will select or unselect from the above list boxes. When an item or items is selected in the listbox and clicked on Button, i have to move those items selected in the listbox to the other listbox.

I am writing this code in the button click event.

But in the button click , iam not able to gt the listbox.
Is there a way to get a reference to the listbox in the grid when the grid is in edit mode.

Thanks in advance.

Hi maha,

You can get controls in grid EditForm easily from button click if you cast the sender argument to Control, get the control NamingContainer (which is GridItem)  and  use FindControl() method:

ListBox MyListBox = (ListBox)((Control)sender).NamingContainer.FindControl("MyListBox");
