RadioButtonList in RadGrid ItemCommand

[Steven]

Can a radiobuttonlist trigger a call to ItemCommand inside a RadGrid.  Below, the button works, but the radiobuttonlist does not hit the event in code behind.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn AllowFiltering="false" HeaderText="Approvals" UniqueName="Approvals">
    ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="140" />
    <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="140" />
    <HeaderTemplate>
    </HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:RadioButtonList ID="rdoApprovals" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal"
                    CommandName="ApproveDeny">
                    <asp:ListItem Value="1">Approve</asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem Value="2">Deny</asp:ListItem>
            </asp:RadioButtonList>
        <asp:Button ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="test" CommandName="test" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hello Steven,

You can achieve this requirement using the own event handler of the RadioButtonList:

<asp:RadioButtonList ... AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadioButtonList1_SelectedIndexChanged">

Alternatively, you can use a client-side event handler (onchange for instance) and fire a grid built-in or custom command using the fireCommand method:

I hope this will prove helpful.

Thank you Eyup. The only downside to the controls OnSelectedIndexChanged is that we don't have easy access to grid data/embedded controls.  I just switched to buttons, no biggie.

Hello Steven,

I'm glad you've managed to find a solution for your specific case. Generally, you can access the container grid item inside the OnSelectedIndexChanged event handler of the combo using the following approach: (sender as RadComboBox).NamingContainer.
