Update Data in Grid Edit Form - RadColorPicker

[mSchmidt]

Hi

I have a RadColorPicker which is located within the edit FormTemplate of a Grid, the problem however is that i cant bind it directly to the data, so iam trying to update the RadColorPicker with the color when an edit is started.

This is what i tried.
    

        void RadGrid_Ingredient_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            (editedItem.FindControl("RadColorPicker1") as RadColorPicker).SelectedColor = e.Item.BackColor;
        }

Doesnt work.

Hello mSchmidt,

You can use the ItemDataBound event handler. This may look something like:

.aspx

 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="template1">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadColorPicker runat="server" id="Cp1">
                    </telerik:RadColorPicker>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

.cs

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem editForm = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            (editForm["template1"].FindControl("Cp1") as RadColorPicker).SelectedColor =System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        }
    }

I hope this suggestion helps.
