Programmatically adding data to a Filter Template

[ColinBlakey]

I'm adding a dropdown filter control as a usercontrol. Basically like the demo at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/filtertemplate/defaultcs.aspx but take the RadComboBox and script and put them into a usercontrol. See code block

<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn .... UniqueName="CustomerNumber" Groupable="False">

   <FilterTemplate>

      <vtx:GridFilter ID="CustNumFilter" Field="CustomerNumber" runat="server"/>

   </FilterTemplate>

</tlk:GridHyperLinkColumn>

I need to get access to the usercontrol programmatically to add the data to it but I cannot figure out how and where to do this.

Thanks

Hello,

Try the following code.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
   {
     UserControl userControl = (UserControl)e.Item.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID);
     RadGrid grid = (RadGrid)userControl.FindControl("RadGrid2");
     grid.ItemDataBound += new GridItemEventHandler(grid_ItemDataBound);
   }
}
void grid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
  {
     GridFilteringItem fitem = (GridFilteringItem)e.Item;
     RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)fitem.FindControl("CustNumFilter");
      //populate the ComboBox
  }
}

Shinu,

That has got me going in the right direction.

Thank you
