Sugest a value for New Record

[Clive Hoggar]

In my popup edit form I have a templated column "TTL" and its TextBox   "TTLTextBox".
I want to suggest a value for this, and have used this code, which does not presen an inital value,
but has no error messages. Can you tell me why?
Thanks
Clive

Private Sub RadGrid1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCreated

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

If e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted Then

'item is about to be inserted

Dim item As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)

Dim TxtBx As TextBox = DirectCast(item.FindControl("TTLTextBox"), TextBox)

TxtBx.Text = "21"

Else

'item is about to be edited

End If

End If

End Sub  the rekevant column declaration is <   telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="TTL"     DataType="System.Int16" HeaderText="TTL"     SortExpression="TTL" UniqueName="TTL">     <EditItemTemplate>     <asp:TextBox ID="TTLTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("TTL") %>'     Width="30px" MaxLength="3" style="text-align:right"></asp:TextBox>     </EditItemTemplate>     <ItemTemplate>     <asp:Label ID="TTLLabel" runat="server"     Text='<%# Eval("TTL") %>'></asp:Label>     </ItemTemplate>

Hi Clive,

Your code worked when I tried in ItemDataBound event of grid. Give a try with the same code in ItemDataBound event instead of ItemCreated.
