RadGrid with ComboBox

[Tommy Martin]

I have a RadGrid control that has a RadComboBox control in edit mode in the Grid.  I am able to populate and select a default value on edit.  However, when I look for the updated values of the combobox, I am retrieving what was initially set as the value of the Rad ComboBox.  In the example code below, I am trying to store the value in the variable d from the SelectedValue of the cboAccess ComboBox

Thanks in adavance for your help.

protected void rdgAccess_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;

GridEditManager em = item.EditManager;

RadComboBox r = (RadComboBox)item.FindControl("cboAccess");

string d = r.SelectedValue.ToString();

string id = item.GetDataKeyValue("DerivedDepartment").ToString();

int vl = -1;

if (int.TryParse(r.SelectedValue, out vl) && vl > 0)

{

rdgAccess.Controls.Add(

new LiteralControl(id + " now has " + r.SelectedItem.Text + " access."));

}

else

{

rdgAccess.Controls.Add(

new LiteralControl(id + " does not have access."));

}

}

Hello Tommy,

Can you check if you have set the AutoPostBack property of the RadComboBox to true?

aspx:

 <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox2" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" AutoPostBack="true" DataValueField="Text" DataTextField="Text" runat="server">
            </telerik:RadComboBox>

Thanks
Princy.

Princy,

No, I do not have the AutoPostBack set to true.  When I set that to true, it would change the drop down back to the initial value on the postback.  I load the drop down on the Edit_Command of the grid 

Here is what I have:

page.aspx (portion of rdgAccess)

        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="AccLevel" HeaderText="Access">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="lblAccess" runat="server"><%# Eval("AccessDesc") %></asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <telerik:RadComboBox ID="cboAccess" runat="server" Skin="Inox" Width="200px"></telerik:RadComboBox>

            </EditItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

page.aspx.cs (Edit_Command)

    protected void rdgAccess_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {


        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            RadComboBox r = item.FindControl("cboAccess") as RadComboBox;

            Database db = new Database(StoredProcedures.ConnectStrings.Dev);

            DataSet ds = db.ExecuteDataSet(StoredProcedures.SPNames.WebSiteAccessLevels.SPName, CommandType.StoredProcedure);

            r.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
            r.DataTextField = "AccessLevelDesc";
            r.DataValueField = "AccessLevelID";
            r.DataBind();

            r.Items.Insert(0, new RadComboBoxItem("--------Select Access Level--------"));

            Label lbl = e.Item.FindControl("lblAccessID") as Label;
            r.SelectedValue = lbl.Text;



        }
        else if (e.Item is GridDataItem && !e.Item.IsInEditMode && Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;

        }
    }

thanks again,

Tommy
