[Solved] Parent of button in a column is null

[Marc Roussel]

Hi,

With this column here which is working all right, I have the button and the event is fired.
I'm trying to get the row from which the buttin is in and the parent of the button is null.  Any idea ?

   <telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
    <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
     <telerikGridView:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
      <DataTemplate>
       <Button Content="Effacer" Click="DeleteTime_Click">
       </Button>
      </DataTemplate>
     </telerikGridView:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
    </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
   </telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>

Trying to get the row with this line :

GridViewRow Row = ((Button)sender).Parent as GridViewRow;

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have the latest build, 2009.3.1127

Hi,

 You can use ParentOfType<>()  to achieve your goal:

         var row = ((Button)sender).ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();

This is extension method available in Telerik.Windows.Controls namespace.


All the best,

Awesome it works perfectly.  Often people doesn't know this little hint so I would like to say to people that doesn't see ParentOfType that they need to add a using statement because you can't make things like

((Button)sender)Telerik.Windows.Controls.ParentOfType...

I often see things like this in the forum since a few times.  It's good to mention the namespace as you did.

I sent an email to my superiour to go on with the purchase of the lisences :)
I think your grid is excellent and your support is good !

Thank you
