setting a property for a control within the FormTemplate

[Joey]

I found the following code on this site but it is never making it into the if statement in red below. I need to set the ConnectionString property on the Types combo box but e.Item.IsInEditMode never returns true for any of the rows. Help!

protected void ConfigurationGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))

{

GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;

TypeComboBox cmb = CommonUtils.FindControlRecursive<TypeComboBox>(edititem, "Types");

cmb.ConnectionString = Globals.Current.ConnectionString;

}

}

Hi,

Are using the AdvancedDataBinding technique to bind your grid. If so then the condition should fire when the row is in edit mode.
Take a look at the technique and let me know of any further issues.

Thanks,
Princy

yes i'm using advanced data binding and no the e.Item.IsInEditMode continues to return false. I've updated my first post with the majority of the grid's actuall settings. Is there anything there that I need to change? I just upgraded to the 2009.1 311 version of the telerik controls but the issue persists.
