selectedindexchanged after updatecommand

[Mydatafactory]

I have a grid in which I have a RadCombobox. If the text of the combobox changes in 'scheduled' a mail must be sent. This works fine. 

	Dim cell1 As TableCell = editItem("ddlStatus")
	Dim Status As String = (CType(cell1.Controls(0), RadComboBox)).Text
	If Status = "Scheduled" Then
	' rest of code

 
As you may notice the mail will also be sent if something else in the grid changes. The mail must only be sent if the combobox changes. It has something to do with SelectedIndexChanged, but this event must be fired when clicking the 'updatebutton'.

How do I arrange this?

Hello A.,

If you want to send a mail depending on the RadComboBox when the update button is clicked, why don't you try placing your code in the UpdateCommand event handle of RadGrid. Thus the mail will be sent only when update is clicked and RadComboBox value is as desired.

Hello Iana,

Thanks for your reply. In the meantime I tried to make a workaround: see my thread of today.

concerning your solution: do you mean that I can put only the update of the combobox in the updatecommand?

Hi A.,

I suggest that you place the code for sending your mails in the UpdateCommand:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs)
    Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = TryCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
    Dim ddlStatus As RadComboBox = editedItem("ddlStatusColumnUniqueName").FindControl("ddlStatus")

    If ddlStatus.SelectedItem.Text = "Scheduled" Then
               'send mail code here
    End If
End Sub

I hope this helps.
