RadComboBox inside template

[Jan]

Hello!

Is it possible to access a RadComboBox's selected value onSelectedIndexChanged event
using FindControl()? Or any other way? The ComboBox is inside an edittemplate.

Thank you for any reply!

Hello Janne,

To retrieve the selected value of the combobox in the SelectedChanged event of the combobox, you can try out the following code:

c#:

 protected void RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)o;
        string strtxt = combo.SelectedValue;

    }

and if you want to access the selected value of the combobox on updating a record, you can try the following code:

c#:

  protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Update")
        {
            GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            string strtxt = ((RadComboBox)editedItem.FindControl("RadComboBox1")).SelectedValue;

        }
    }

Thanks

Shinu.

Hello!

Thanks for your quick response Shinu!
I think missled you in my question though. I need to access another ComboBox
in the OnSelectedIndexChanged event.
When CB_1 is changed I want CB_2 to load something else from the db depending
on the selection i CB_1.
I've found samples how to achive this on this forum and elsewhere but not when
the ComboBox is in an EditTemplate.

Thanks again.

Hello Janne,

You can try out the following code to access a combobox in the SelectionIndexChanged event of another combobox:
c#:

protected void ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        RadComboBox combo1 = (RadComboBox)o;
        GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)combo1.NamingContainer;
        RadComboBox combo2 = (RadComboBox)edititem.FindControl("ComboBox2ID");
        if(combo1.SelectedValue=="2")
        {
            combo2.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource2";
            combo2.DataTextField = "ContactTitle";
        }
    }

Thanks
