Setting Enabled state of DropDownList after CheckedChanged Event

[Ida]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid in Edit Mode, with a checkbox that when it is checked, a DropDownList's Enabled state should be True. When the checkbox is unchecked, the DropDownList's Enabled state should be False. Unfortunately I cannot get the Enabled state set after using the following code:

 

 

 

Public Sub RDPots_ItemCreated(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs)

               If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then

                   ' Checking the status of the Berried checkbox
                   Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
                   Dim chkBerried As CheckBox = CType(editedItem("Berried").Controls(0), CheckBox)
                   chkBerried.AutoPostBack = True

                   Dim dropdownBerriedStage As DropDownList = CType(editedItem("BerriedStage").Controls(0), DropDownList)
                   dropdownBerriedStage.AutoPostBack = True

                   AddHandler chkBerried.CheckedChanged, AddressOf Me.chkBerried_CheckedChanged

                   If bBerried Then
                       dropdownBerriedStage.Enabled = True
                   Else
                       dropdownBerriedStage.Enabled = False
                   End If


               End If


       End Sub

Sub chkBerried_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)

           Dim checkBerried As CheckBox = CType(sender, CheckBox)
           Dim eitem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(checkBerried.NamingContainer, GridEditableItem)

           If checkBerried.Checked Then
               bBerried = True
           Else
               bBerried = False
           End If

       End Sub

Hi Ida,

Once you have the GridEditableItem instance within the code-behind event handler, you can use the approach demonstrated in the following section:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-controls-in-editinsert-mode

I hope this will prove helpful.

Thank you for the advice Eyup, but unfortunately when the checkbox is checked/ticked, the new value of the checkbox state is not picked up on postback.

Hi,

Could you share which EditMode do you use? Then, we can prepare a sample RadGrid web site and send it to you.

             </telerik:RadGrid>

 

Here is the RadGrid that I am using. The DataField called Berried is the checkbox I wish to detect a changed state for. The DataField called BerriedStage is the dropdown that I wish to enable/disable when the Berried checkbox is checked/not checked.

Hi Ida,

I've created a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate how you can achieve this requirement. Please run the attached application and let me know if it helps you.
