[Solved] Tab within DataGrid

[mk]

I have a datagrid that gets populated from a datasource.  Using an ID passed from the datagrid, I am trying to generate values in tabstrip based on the selected id.  Any ideas how that can be done.  Any small example for the same ?

Thanks

Hi,

You can access  the selected  item value using the  code snippet below:

 string categoryName= RadGrid1.SelectedValues["CategoryName"].ToString();

In case you want to access the RadTabstrip for each item 

  foreach (GridDataItem dataItem in RadGrid1.SelectedItems)
        {
            string selectedValue = dataItem.GetDataKeyValue("CategoryName").ToString();
            RadTabStrip tabStrip = (RadTabStrip)dataItem.FindControl("RadTabStrip1");
        }

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thanks Princy for the snippet.

This is how my structure is defined in aspx.

<RadGrid1>
  <NestedViewTemplate>
<RadGrid2>
    <NestedViewTemplate>
        <RadTabStrip ..... />
    </NestedViewTemplate>
</RadGrid2>
</NestedViewTemplate>
</RadGrid1>

So, what method should I use to populate the child control ( RadGrid2 and its child contol RadTabStrip ) .  Is there a sample out there somewhere that I can look at .

Also, is it possible to completely build this structure programmatically.  I was able to build a similar structure with RadGrid ( DetailTable ) but was unable to add RadTabStrip control and had to only work with RadGrid.


Thanks again for the quick response.

Hi,

Please try the code snippet below to access the nested RadGrid and RadTabstrip and set the datasource accordingly:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.CommandName=="ExpandCollapse")
        {
            GridDataItem dataItem=(GridDataItem)e.Item;
            GridItem[] nestedViewItems = dataItem.OwnerTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView);
            foreach (GridNestedViewItem nestedViewItem in nestedViewItems)
            {
                RadGrid grid2 = (RadGrid)nestedViewItem.FindControl("RadGrid2");
                GridItem[] nestedViewItems1 = grid2.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView);
                foreach (GridNestedViewItem nestedViewItem1 in nestedViewItems1)
                {
                    RadTabStrip RadTabStrip2 = (RadTabStrip)nestedViewItem1.FindControl("RadTabStrip2");
                    RadTab tab = new RadTab(dataItem.GetDataKeyValue("CategoryName").ToString());
                    RadTabStrip2.Tabs.Add(tab);
                }
            }
       }
   }

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
