Populate radcombobox in filter template in radgrid

[Rich Helferty]

What event can I use to populate a radcombobox in filter template in a radgrid from server side code. I do not have the ability to use datasource referenced on the page.  Can I do in it in the radgrid OnColumnCreated or ondatabound events?

Hello Rich,

You can populate the RadComboBox in FilterTemplate by accessing it in ItemDataBound event like below.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
       {
           GridFilteringItem filterItem = (GridFilteringItem)e.Item;
           RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)filterItem.FindControl("RadComboBox1");// accessing RadComboBox in FilterTemplate
           // Set DataSource of combo
           //combo.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem("New"));
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.
