programmatically added dropdownlist

[Giovanni]

Hallo,

     I'm creating a grid at runtime, dynamically adding the columns; I'm also using InPlace edit mode. The grid is working in normal columns (for example, I set the GridNumericColumnEditor for my GridNumericColumn, and I can get the cell value using the GridEditManager GetColumnEditor method).

    Now I have a column which has templates for Item and EditItem. In the EditItemTemplate (which inherits IBindableTemplate) I put a DropDownList. I could set the right value to show in the dropdownlist when in edit mode, but I don't know how to get the cell value. I've tried with the GridEditManager, as for my normal columns, but the GridTemplateColumnEditor has no controls...

    Can you help me?

   Thank you

[Richard]

Giovanni:

Please reference the Operations with MS DropDownList in EditItemTemplate of GridTemplateColumn documentation page. It provides insights on getting/setting values using the .FindControl() method.

As an example:

private void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
    DropDownList list = editedItem.FindControl("List1") as DropDownList;
    Session["updatedValue"] = list.SelectedValue;
}

Hope this helps!
