Forms Data Controls :: DropDownList Events When In Gridview Header?
Mar 23, 2011
I'm currently facing an annoying problem that i can't seem to figure out. I have a gridview in my page, and i wanted to add a second header row to it. Well, i did that without any problems using the code below.
No problems so far. I then intended to add some filter to my gridview and so added a dropdown list in this second header i had created.
I simply added the control i previously had to my cell of the header.
[Code]....
The problem is that now, the SelectedValueChanged event is not firing when i change the value on my dropdown list. If i place her out of the gridview, the event fires normally, when placed inside the gridview the event apparently stops firing.
I have tried this with and without AutoPostback ON, though the final goal would be to have that option on OFF. (The postback would be caused by some other button on the same second header row, allowing the user to combine multiple filters simultaneosly)
How to display the selected value of a dropdownlist in header taemplate of a gridview? As i change the dropdownlist's value, it should also change in the gridview. i have taken a label in the gridview's header template named "lbl_mnth" my dropdownlist's id is "ddl_mnth".
It happened to add an extra Gridveiw Header in row_databound event , It did worked fine on !Postback but disappered on Page.Postback . Quick google search guided me to move the event to Row_Created event and every thing is okay .
Can any expert post some pointers , differnces between grid row_created vs row_databount with some sample table data created dynamically behaviour of both the events in !Postback and page.Postback .
I've googled a bit for the exact order of all gridview events relative to and where inbetween page events. The only Microsoft article: [URL] is not very clear. I'm especially interested in the gridview row_command event relative to page events.
I want to raise an checkbox check-changed event but its not firing :( . It Dosent raise even an command event.
My Requirement :
My Requirement is that i have a Datalist with header checkbox in headertemplate and a child checkbox in itemtemplate and a gridview control. Checking and unchecking will update the gridview control.
Scenario: I have a Gridview where I want to handle the Sorting in a custom control that I've added to the header. I've added this control to my GridView's Header via OnRowCreate event handling. I want the Sort Expressions to persist session to session (via Webparts Personalization)
Here is what I have for adding the custom header control to the GridView Header
[Code]....
This works out well for adding the control, but I can't get anything to persist because these controls are creating initially via postback (per the event) and re-created on all subsequent postbacks. I can't add an If(!IsPostback) because the controls are initially created on the gridview's postback (well at least thats how it's acting when I put it in there) If I were to add this control via the ASP page, not via the Codebehind, I would be able to persist the control. If I try to treat it as though everything is setup correctly, and assign my custom control's controls to [Personalizable], I get a runtime error telling me that I can only have webpartzones in or before Page_init (I'm guessing this is due to when/where the gridview hits the OnRowCreate event). If there is some fundimental logic I'm missing, or best practices that I'm moving away from,
i have a gridview bound to sql datasource with template fields binding the columns. I have set the Header Style to a css class. I have 3 columns not bound to data as Add, Edit and Delete. When I set the text color to white for the header only the non bound columns go white. The bound columns are BLUE like hyperlink. Any one know a way round this. (If I set the style in the gridview the all columns are white. Want to set in external css file).
I am working on object data source and datagridview. I have given object data source to the grid view as the data source of grid. The issue which i m facing is that whenever i click on next page(like 2 or 3 or 1) it takes lot of time to fire. although it is fired but I have to wait a minute or two and then it fired.
Whenever I click any event(e.g. next page , page 5 ,3 or edit etc) of gridview it does not give response. If I wait for a minute then click one of event then it performs, and then again I have to wait to fire other event.
now the problem is that when i scroll down the gridview the header disappers and so I could not remember what a number is refering to...how can I fix the header so that I scroll down only the rows? is too much if I ask you for the code and where to put it? :P it is a home project for myself so I m not going to sell it or earn money form it.
I've been reading up on the problems with dynamically created controls and how they have been solved. The posts I have come across are creating the controls in a panel or some other open place. I can't seem to get my checkbox to fire the event from inside a gridview. below is the code behind from inside the GridView PreRender event.
[Code]....
..And the Checked Event.. [Code]....
So after all this, nothing happens. I get the postback flash but my command inside the checked event doesn't fire.I tried putting the dynamic creation of the checkbox in Page Load with no effect.. I think because I can't place the checkbox inside the GridView under page load.
I have a user control called ucTriStateButton. It raises an event when it is clicked, called TriStateButtonClicked. If I put this user control on a page, it works fine. Here is the declaration on the .aspx page:
[Code]....
When the button is clicked the method tsbTest_TriStateButtonClicked executes correctly.
The problem is when I put the user control in template field of a GridView.
[Code]....
There is no way to hook the event handler to the control in Page_Load because I cannot get a reference to tsbMorning. So I did it in the RowDataBound event handler of the GridView, where I also do a bunch of other row-specific stuff. Although this builds and runs, the event is never actually subscribed to and so never gets fired.
So the question is - how can I handle an event from many instances of the same user control within a GridView? I am calling the same bit of code regardless of which user control is actually clicked. I only need to know that one was clicked.
I have a gridview with the following header shown below
TYPE LOCATION
Big New York
Small BOSTON
Now, I would like to add a background colour for the headers TYPE, LOCATION. How do you do that? Kindly note, I am not trying to add a text color but instead a background color
