unable to catch RadButton control in EditFormSettins of RadGrid

[Ravi]

 <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">

                <FormTemplate>
 <telerik:RadButton ID="btnIcon" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Click" OnClientClicking="OnClientClicking"

                              Text="Start"       </telerik:RadButton>

  
 </FormTemplate>


            </EditFormSettings>


Hi,

Above only example which releated to my scenario.
I have RadButton in <EditFormSettings> . I tried to find control using FinControl in Item_DataBound by following code and disable RadButton.

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

     {

        GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;

             RadButton  btnStart = (FileUpload)item.FindControl("btnStart");

             btnStart.Enabled = false;

     }

when i debug  even it is not entering (if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode) ) . I think i am missing some thing.

Could you please let me know , how to find control in code behind and disable control.

Thanks,
Ravikiran

Hi Ravi,

The control will go inside the for-loop only when the RadGrid is in EditMode. Make sure you access the control when in edit mode. Please try the below code snippet to access the RadButton inside EditFormSettings.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadButton ID="btnIcon" runat="server" Text="Start". . . . >
</telerik:RadButton>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditFormItem edit = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
        RadButton btnStart = (RadButton)edit.FindControl("btnIcon");
        btnStart.Enabled = false;
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Hi Ravi,

Unfortunately, i couldn't replicate the issue. The code works fine at my end. When the RadGrid is in EditMode it will enter the loop " if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)". Below is a sample code that i tried to access a RadButton in editform. If this doesn't help, please provide your full code snippet and elaborate about requirement.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridEntity" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" AutoGenerateEditColumn="true" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" OnItemDataBound="RadGridEntity_ItemDataBound">

    <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top">

        <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">

            <FormTemplate>

                <table id="Table1">

                    <tr>

                        <td>

                            Customer ID:

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                    <tr>

                        <td>

                            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                </table>

                <table>

                    <tr>

                        <td>

                            <telerik:RadButton ID="btnStart" runat="server" Text='Start' CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "PerformInsert" : "Update" %>'>

                            </telerik:RadButton>

                        </td>

                        <td>                             

                            <telerik:RadButton ID="BtnSave" runat="server" Text='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "Add Customer" : "Update" %>'

                                CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "PerformInsert" : "Update" %>'>

                            </telerik:RadButton>

                        </td>

                        <td>                             

                            <telerik:RadButton ID="BtnCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" CommandName="Cancel">

                            </telerik:RadButton>

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                </table>

            </FormTemplate>

        </EditFormSettings>

    </MasterTableView>

</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGridEntity_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditFormItem edit = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
        RadButton btnStart = (RadButton)edit.FindControl("btnStart");
        btnStart.Enabled = false;
    }
}
