Wiring up an eventhandler for child control

[Kennon McCaa]

Hi,

I have a UserControl (m_ucPolicyList) within a RadPanelBar.

<telerik:RadPanelBar runat="server" ID="m_rpbPageContent" Width="99%">
<Items>
<telerik:RadPanelItem  runat="server" Text="General Information" Width="100%" Value="General Information Panel" Expanded="true">
<ItemTemplate>
<div id="m_ldGeneralInfo" runat="server">
<tstUser:PolicyListControl ID="m_ucPolicyList" runat="server"/>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadPanelItem>
</Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

is there anyway to subscribe to events raised by my usercontrol (m_ucPolicyList)?

What I'm finding is that the UserControl (any control within a RadPanelBar) is not available to me at Page_Load and I have to wait for Page_PreRender to access it via the FindItemByValue() method. However, it appears that if I try to attach the eventhandler to my control in Page_PreRender it is too late in the page lifecycle to actually work.

I thought perhaps I could attach the eventhandler in the _ItemCreated event of the RadPanelBar but that event is not firing for me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much,

Kennon

Hi Kennon McCaa,

All controls defined inside the ItemTemplate property of inline items (defined in the ASPX) should be available during Page_Load. I have attached a sample project which shows how to subscribe to events of child controls.

Thanks. That example solved my problem. It may have been that my ASPX markup only had:

TstPanelBar

  Items

    RadPanelItem

      ItemTemplate

Whereas your example had:

TstPanelBar

  Items

    RadPanelItem

      Items

        RadPanelItem

          ItemTemplate

Is that the correct general structure, "2 RadPanelItems, not just 1"?

Thanks so much.
