Hello Satish,

You can try out the following code to access the RadTextBox or Button from code behind:
cs:

 protected void RadMenu_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadMenuItem menuItem = (RadMenuItem)RadMenu.Items[0]; // 0 indicates the menu item index
        RadTextBox textBox = (RadTextBox)menuItem.FindControl("txtQuickSearch");
        Button btn = (Button)menuItem.FindControl("btnQiuckSearch");
    }

Thanks
Princy.

 Hello Satish,

Try the following code snippet for getting reference to the controls placed in template of RadMenuItem. Here, I tried to find the RadMenuItem based on the value and access the controls in the template field.

CS:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadTextBox textBox = (RadTextBox)RadMenu1.FindItemByValue("Temp").FindControl("txtQuickSearch"); //Getting RadTextBox
    Button tempButton = (Button)RadMenu1.FindItemByValue("Temp").FindControl("btnQiuckSearch"); // Getting reference to button
}

Make sure that you set the value for RadMenuItem.
ASPX:

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Value="Temp">
    <ItemTemplate>
    search:
    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtQuickSearch" runat="server" Height="12px" Text="Hi">
    </telerik:RadTextBox>&nbsp;
    <asp:Button ID="btnQiuckSearch" runat="server"
    Text="Go" BackColor="#FF8000" Height="22px" Font-Size="Small" BorderStyle="Double" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadMenuItem>

Thanks,
Shinu.
