Using FindControl To Locate TextBox In Dynamically Created Template Field?

Jun 2, 2010

My problem is as follows. I have a custom GridView control where I generate the Template fields for each column. I'm using someone elses class that extends the Itemplate and returns lables for ItemTemplate, and TextBoxes for EditTemplate.

I need this in order to implement bulk edit for the gridview where users press button Edit and all fields become textboxes, they can then change the values, and click Update button at which point I need to be able to retrieve the values from the TextBoxes in these Template Fields.

What I have tried thus far: when user clicks Edit button, my dynamic code builds the columns and specifies that the Template field is an EditTemplate, it then adds these columns to the grid view. The gridview shows the textboxes with all values retrieved from sqldatasource.

When I press the Update button, the page does a postback, as I can see Page_Load event fire, I check for a flag that I previously set when the Edit button was pressed (I store it's value in View State) and call the Update method.

In it I iterate throught the gridview rows collection, check that the RowType of each row is DataRow and call GridView.UpdateRow(i, false), passing each rows index to the UpdateRow method.At this point I have tried everything I can to find the values stored in the textboxes, but I cannot find any of the textbox controls.

I've tried using the current row's FindControl method and specifying the name of the textbox field,I've tried using Request.Params method where I can tried passing the client id, as it seen in the View Source of the page such as this

Request.Params["grid1$gvData$ctl02$MMCODE"]

Still no luck, I've tried going up an down the Row's cells, controls collections, it seem to list the counts for rows correctly, the same goes for the amount of cells for each row, but at no point was I able to actually locate any controls such as textboxes or anything else and retrieve any values from them.

Web Forms :: Access A Template Field With Findcontrol?

Feb 28, 2010

I have this control in my paqe:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Reciprocal URL" SortExpression="ReciprocalURL" ItemStyle-Width="">
<ItemTemplate >
<a href="<%#Container.DataItem("ReciprocalURL")%>" target="_blank" title='<%#Container.DataItem("ReciprocalURL")%>'>
<%#BusinessLogic.WebSite.BreakReciprocalURL(Container.DataItem("AdvLinkID"), 40)%>
</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I have a select all function and I want to use an if statement to only select items if there is something in this templatefield:

Protected Sub chkSelectAll_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkSelectAll.CheckedChanged
For Each itm As GridViewRow In Me.gvLink.Rows

'insert if statement here to check for linkback url. if so then enable checkbox else disble checkbox to prevent user from selecting.

CType(itm.FindControl("chkSelect"), CheckBox).Checked = CType(sender, CheckBox).Checked
Next
Me.lblMsg.Text = ""
End Sub

I would do something like the above for the checkbox, but I'm not sure how to reference the control. It's a templatefield right?

Forms Data Controls :: Cannot Get FindControl To Locate Label Inside Repeater

Apr 14, 2010

I have a label control inside of repeater and I can't seem to get FindControl to locate the label inside of the repeater or even the repeater itself. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. OnItemDataBound is firing because "hello1" is being written but if I put anything inside of the For Next loop of rptMarketFundamentals, nothing is run inside of it.

<asp:Repeater id="rptMarketFundmentals" runat="server" DataSourceID="dsMarketFundamentals" OnItemDataBound="rptMarketFundamentals_ItemDataBound">
<asp:Label ID="lblOwnershipCategory" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("OwnershipCategory") %>' />
</asp:Repeater>
Sub rptMarketFundamentals_ItemDataBound(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As RepeaterItemEventArgs)
Response.Write("hello1") 'this works
Dim dataItem As RepeaterItem
For Each dataItem In rptMarketFundmentals.Items
Response.Write("hello2") 'this does not work
Dim lblOwnershipCategory As Label = CType(dataItem.FindControl("lblOwnershipCategory"), Label)
If lblOwnershipCategory.Text.ToLower = "family firm" Then blOwnershipCategory.CssClass = "highlight"

Dynamically Created Gridview With Button In Footer Template

Mar 25, 2011

I have created a gridview dynamically from scratch and added it to my aspx page. This works fine, but i have a button in the footer of on of the columns, which when clicked on makes the gridview disappear and doesn't fire the onclick event that it should. This should obviously not be the case. My question is why does the event not fire and why does the gridview vanish? Bear in mind i have never created aa gridview in the code behind before, so excuse me if i am being dense

Code creating columns
Dim gvTownships As New GridView
'COLUMNS
Dim tmpCategory As New TemplateField
tmpCategory.ItemTemplate = New cGridViewTemplate(DataControlRowType.DataRow, "Category")
tmpCategory.HeaderTemplate = New cGridViewTemplate(DataControlRowType.Header, "Category")
tmpCategory.FooterTemplate = New cGridViewTemplate(DataControlRowType.Footer, "Calculation")
'INFORMATION
gvTownships.AutoGenerateColumns = False
gvTownships.ID = cmbChoice.SelectedItem.Text
gvTownships.ShowFooter = True
gvTownships.CssClass = "mGrid"
gvTownships.RowStyle.Wrap = False
gvTownships.HeaderStyle.CssClass = "mgrid"
gvTownships.HeaderStyle.Wrap = True
gvTownships.FooterStyle.CssClass = "mGridtf"
gvTownships.AlternatingRowStyle.CssClass = "alt"
gvTownships.GridLines = GridLines.Both
'add columns
gvTownships.Columns.Add(tmpCategory)
gvTownships.DataSource = dstSuburbTowhShip
gvTownships.DataBind()

Code to add button to footer

Sub InstantiateIn(ByVal container As System.Web.UI.Control) _
Implements ITemplate.InstantiateIn
Case DataControlRowType.Footer
If columnName = "Calculation" Then
Dim btnCalculate As New Button
btnCalculate.Text = "Calculate"
btnCalculate.CssClass = "button"
'add handler
AddHandler btnCalculate.Click, AddressOf btnCalculate_Clicked
container.Controls.Add(btnCalculate)
End If
Case Else
' Insert code to handle unexpected values.
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub btnCalculate_Clicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Try
Dim btnCalculate As Button = CType(sender, Button)
Dim gvRow As GridViewRow = CType(btnCalculate.NamingContainer, GridViewRow)
btnCalculate.CommandArgument = "Calculate"
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
End Class

Forms Data Controls :: Raise Click Event Of A Linkbutton Inside A Template Field That Was Created Programmatically

Jan 28, 2011

I need to generate a gridview with dynamic columns, on each cell I need a button that inserts-deletes a relationship in a database. The relationship is of course between what is represented by each column and row. I decided to use a gridview and create templatefields which I add programmatically to the table. I successfully got to that point but when i decided to raise a click event from the buttons or a rowcommand from the gridview I could not do it. I´m looking into doing this with button fields right now but I´m curious on how this can be accomplished?

How To Use JQuery On Dynamically Created Textbox

Sep 27, 2011

i am creating Textboxes at Runtime with something like this

Code:
Dim cnt As New TextBox
cnt.ID = "cont_" & x
If multiline Then
cnt.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine
End If

These are dynamically created fields. so what i want to do is to use this following JQuery on this textbox

Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contentbox").keyup(function() {
var box=$(this).val();
var main = box.length *100;
var value= (main / 145);
var count= 145 - box.length;
if(box.length <= 145) {
$('#count').html(count);
$('#bar').animate({"width": value+'%',}, 1);
}
return false;
});
});

and what this function does it count the number of Characters that have been typed in a Textbox. so i am displaying the remaining characters. So that is working fine on my example because the Element is known at Early Binding. Now my question is what if the textbox is created dynamically ?

Code:

contentbox

this is the name of the Textbox in my example. how do we use a J Query in Dynamically created Textbox.

Web Forms :: Dynamically Created Asp Textbox Object Not Recognized?

I want to dynamically create asp textbox objects (as well as other types) with id's named sequentially up to a number the user decides but I'm having a problem getting my code behind to recognize these dynamically created objects. In "div1" below I manually create the objects and I have no problem getting the values in Sub cmdSaveDiv1Info_Click. My dynamically created code generated in Page_Load routine is identical to that in "div1" except for the textbox ID's yet when I try to retrieve the values the same way in cmdSaveDiv2Info_Click I get an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error on the "Dim d2Year as String.." line.

AJAX :: Unable To Maintain Focus On Dynamically Created Textbox

Jun 30, 2010

i have a WSS 3.0 Webpart that contains an UpdatePanel with a customized SPGridView. I want to provide instant filtering of data by adding a textbox below the column header when the column shall be filterable. There is a jQuery based solution for this on the net, but it's totally client side and doesn't work with paging, so i tried it on my own.

In the CreateChildControls of my SPGridViewExt class i have :

[Code]....

I've also overridden the DoFilterPostBackEventProcessing method to create a "[ColumnName] LIKE '%[textbox.value]%'" filterExpression for my datasource which also creates the LIKEFILTER_COLUMN and LIKEFILTER_VALUE ViewState Items so i can identify the textbox that should refocus on after the postback. The filtering itself works great, but whatever i try, i am not able to set the focus to the textbox after entering the first letter.

[Code]....

All these four methods don't work. The registerstartupscript call doesn't even render the script when i search the page source after postback. I also tried to add a HiddenField to my webpart and set it's value to the control id of the textbox in onfocus, then register a startupscript in OnLoad that focuses the control if the HiddenField has a value, but to no avail.
