Accessing Controls in RadListView

Updated on Nov 25, 2025

Description

There are various scenarios where it is required to access the Template controls of RadListView. On server-side you can use the ItemDataBound/ItemCreated event handlers by utilizing the FindControl method to access the generated controls, whereas on client-side you can make avail of the $telerik.findControl or $telerik.findElement methods.

Solution

RadListView and RadDataForm are very similar controls. While the DataForm is a control suitable for visualizing one record at a time, the ListView can display and access multiple items simultaneously.

Just instead of RadDataFormDataItem type, you can use the corresponding RadListViewDataItem class.
