[Solved] Locating update and cancel buttons on edit form

[Eliyahu Goldin]

I have a grid EditMode set to EditForms and EditColumnButtonType = ImageButton.

I want the Update and Cancel buttons change their images on mouse actions. For that I need to set a few clientside event like onmouseover etc. The problem is that I can't locate server side controls for the Update and Cancel buttons on edit form to set their attributes. I handle the ItemCreate or ItemDataBound event and have this code:

            if (e.Item.IsInEditMode && (e.Item is GridEditFormItem))
            {
                GridEditFormItem eefItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;

                // set right images for buttons
                ImageButton btnUpdate = efItem.FindControl("btnUpdate") as ImageButton;
                if (btnUpdate != null)
                {
                }
                ImageButton btnCancel = efItem.FindControl("btnCancel") as ImageButton;
                if (btnCancel != null)
                {
                }
            }

but it doesn't find any buttons. I tried also setting UniqueName for EditFormSettings.EditColumn and running efItem[uniqueName] to no avail.

Hello Eliyahu,

To access the Update and Cancel buttons on an AutoGeneratedEditForm you can use the following code.
cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {

        if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            LinkButton updtBtn = (LinkButton)item.FindControl("UpdateButton");
            LinkButton cnclBtn = (LinkButton)item.FindControl("CancelButton");
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.
