PROJECT DESCRIPTION

As the title suggests, this project shows how to access controls that are nested in template buttons of a r.a.d.toolbar web user control. The toolbar has two template buttons, but we use only one of them for this demo. A label's Text property takes the value of the Text property of a nested textbox.

I use the FindControl method consecutively and indexing of the TemplatedButtons collection to reach the nested textbox.  

I"m finding the controls fine but the value of my dropdownlist is always -1

DropDownList m_IssuePurposeTypeDropDown = (DropDownList)GetWOTemplateButton().FindControl("m_IssuePurposeTypeDropDown");

private RadToolbarTemplateButton GetWOTemplateButton()

{

RadToolbarTemplateButton m_WOButton = (RadToolbarTemplateButton)this.m_LocationServiceRadToolbar.Items.TemplatedButtons[1];

return m_WOButton;

}
