reference controls in insert form

[Morten]

In a rg:
  <telerik:RadGrid ID="rg" runat="server">
    <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="FormId" CommandItemDisplay="Top" EditMode="InPlace">
      <Columns>
I have two <telerik:GridTemplateColumn... />. One with a checkbox and the other with a dropdownlist inside the <EditItemTemplate>.

How do I access controls inside the <EditItemTemplate> of a GridTemplateColumn when the "Insert new record" button in the CommandItem (I like to load the dropdown list and set checked on the checkbox)?

I can access the controls from the ItemDataBound RadGrid event (Case GridItemType.EditItem). I this is the place, how do I then distinguish between EditMode and InsertMode?

Hi Morten71,

Try accessing the control during the Insert mode in the ItemDataBound event as shown below.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
     {
         if ((e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem) && (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted))
         {
             GridEditFormInsertItem InsertItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item; ;
             DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)InsertItem["columnUniqueName"].FindControl("DropDownList1");
         }
    }

Thanks
Shinu
