set control text

[Lisa]

I want to set the control text but don't know how to get a hold of the control that is within a radgrid. Can someone help?
I have another thread related to this but it was mixed with insert form. I thought it'd be better to have a different thread for it.

Also, RadButton1_Click() is not even invoked if there is RequiredFieldValidator and the field value is empty. How can RequiredFieldValidator be disabled when the button is clicked so that it invokes RadButton1_Click() ?

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<div>
  <telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" AutoPostBack="true" Text="fill data"  ButtonType="LinkButton" onclick="RadButton1_Click"></telerik:RadButton>
</div>

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel runat=server>
    <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
            ShowStatusBar="True" GridLines="None"  OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"   OnUpdateCommand="RadGrid1_UpdateCommand"
            OnInsertCommand="RadGrid1_InsertCommand" OnCreateColumnEditor="RadGrid1_CreateColumnEditor"
            OnPreRender="RadGrid1_PreRender" OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" OnItemCreated="RadGrid1_ItemCreated">

            <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="id" CommandItemDisplay="Top">
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Emp" DataField="emp" UniqueName="emp">


protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        //set the text of emp to something else. How to get a hold of the control in here?
}

Hello,

Please try with the below code snippet.

<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" AutoPostBack="true" Text="fill data"
        ButtonType="LinkButton" OnClick="RadButton1_Click" CausesValidation="false">
    </telerik:RadButton>

Let me know if any concern.

Thanks,

Thank you for a solution to the second problem. Can you help with the first problem too?

        {

            item["emp"].Text = "your text comes here" + DateTime.Now.ToString();

        }

    }

 

}

It is my mistake that I did not post the RadTextBox correctly. It is not GridBoundColumn, and not inside <Columns>.

The RadTextBox is inside <MasterTableView>'s <FormTemplate>.

     <FormTemplate>
           <telerik:RadTextBox id="emp" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("emp") %>'   />

So, how can I access the "emp" RadTextBox inside the FormTemplate?

It can find the control now. But because IsItemInserted was set to true, it displays 2 items: 2 "emp" text boxes, one with old text and the other with new text. I do not want it to display 2 items. I just want it to display only one item and replace the old text with the new text for that one item. How can that be done?

I also tried the following and it also displayed 2 items:
        GridEditableItem i = (GridEditableItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetInsertItem();
        RadTextBox r = (RadTextBox)i.FindControl("emp");
        r.Text = "Johnny";

I think with regular grid it is so simple, but with ragrid it is a different story.

protected void page_load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
        if (data1.Tables[0].Rows.Count < 1)
        {
               RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;
               RadGrid1.Rebind();
        }
       else
               RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = false;
    }
}
