[Solved] Set selectedIndex based on GridCell in EditFormTemplate

[Ingimar Andresson]

Hi I have a RadGrid with ObjectDataSource who binds to DataSet Table. It works...my Grid populates correctly. The I have FormTemplate for Updating/Insert new record. There I have 4 different RadComboBox controls.....with i populate with following DataBinding:

    protected void gwTeam_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!(e.Item is GridEditFormItem) || !e.Item.IsInEditMode) return;

        var child = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
        GridDataItem parent = child.ParentItem;
        GridColumn col;

        var season = child.FindControl("cbSeason") as RadComboBox;
        var teamName = child.FindControl("tbName") as RadTextBox;
        var playfield = child.FindControl("cbPlayfield") as RadComboBox;
        var teamleader = child.FindControl("cbTeamLeader") as RadComboBox;
        var category = child.FindControl("cbCategory") as RadComboBox;
        if(season == null || teamName == null ||  playfield == null || teamleader == null || category == null)
        {
            Response.Write("Unable to find control");
        }
        else
        {
            season.DataSource = dsAsk.Season;
            season.DataValueField = "SeasonID";
            season.DataTextField = "SeasonYear";
            season.DataBind();
            col = gwTeam.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("Säsong");
            season.SelectedValue = col.ToString();// parent["Säsong"].Text;

            teamName.Text = parent["TeamName"].Text;

            playfield.DataSource = dsAsk.Playfield;
            playfield.DataValueField = "PlayfieldID";
            playfield.DataTextField = "PlayfieldName";
            playfield.DataBind();
            col = gwTeam.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("Spelplan");
            playfield.SelectedValue = col.ToString();// parent["Spelplan"].Text;

            teamleader.DataSource = dsAsk.TeamLeader;
            teamleader.DataValueField = "TeamLeaderID";
            teamleader.DataTextField = "TeamLeaderName";
            teamleader.DataBind();
            col = gwTeam.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("Lagledare");
            teamleader.SelectedValue = col.ToString();// parent["Lagledare"].Text;
            //teamleader.Text = parent["TeamLeaderID"].Text;

            category.DataSource = dsAsk.TeamCategory;
            category.DataValueField = "TeamCategoryID";
            category.DataTextField = "TeamCategory";
            category.DataBind();
            col = gwTeam.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("Serie");
            category.SelectedValue = col.ToString();// parent.DataSetIndex;
            //category.Text = parent["TeamCategoryID"].Text;
        }
    }

what i need is to get/set SelectedIndex or Value on the ComboBox controls based on value in the comparing column in the Grid??

I have read and tried different methods in Telerik Help library but nothing works.....yet.
Any suggestions??
