Set default value on add row

[Fabio]

Hello,

I have i row with a Dropdown  EditItemTemplate in one column and 3 TextBox in other 3 columns always as EditItemTemplate. I need to set a dynamic default value for each textbox when i change the selected item in the dropdown. How i can do it? I tried with record.setValue on selectindexchanged event but it doesn't work.

An another question: How i can find the ItemTemplate control with FindControl property? I tried this ggc.FindControl("id") but i don't find my control

Thanks,
Fabio

Hi Fabio,

 

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

 

Query #1:  I need to set a dynamic default value for each textbox when change the selected item in the dropdown. How can i do it?

 

 1)This can achieved in dropdown “OnSelectedIndexChanged” event. Please find the following code snippet.

 

protected void drop1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Control control = ((DropDownList)sender).NamingContainer.Parent;

TextBox IDtext =  (TextBox)FindControlRecursive(control, "ID");

if (IDtext != null)

IDtext.Text = list[((DropDownList)sender).SelectedIndex - 1].ID.ToString();

TextBox CurrencyText = (TextBox)FindControlRecursive(control, "Currency");

if (CurrencyText != null)

CurrencyText.Text = list[((DropDownList)sender).SelectedIndex - 1].Currency.ToString();

TextBox TelephoneText = (TextBox)FindControlRecursive(control, "Telephone");

if (TelephoneText != null)

TelephoneText.Text = list[((DropDownList)sender).SelectedIndex - 1].Telephone.ToString();

 

}

 

 

 2) In some asp.net controls don’t have default autopostback as true . So we have to enable AutoPostBack as true to trigger postback event. Please find the code snippet.

 

                                 <asp:DropDownList ID="drop1" runat="server" EnableViewState="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="drop1_TextChanged" AutoPostBack="true">

 

  Query #2: How  can i find the ItemTemplate control with FindControl property?

 

             You can use custom method to find your control . please find the method

 

Control FindControlRecursive(Control parent, string id)

{

                                    Control ctrl = parent.FindControl(id);

                    if (ctrl == null && parent.HasControls())

          {

 foreach (Control c in parent.Controls)

{             

                                                         ctrl = FindControlRecursive(c, id);

                        if (ctrl != null) return ctrl;

                }

          }

     return ctrl;

}
