Hi Guys,

I have an urget problem pls help me.

I have a datagrid with a checkbox column and a dropdownlist column. Both are in Template columns and both are disabled( greyed out) in the begining .

and i have edititem command.

I wanted to make both checkbox and dropdown list editable when edit button is clicked .

I tried
e.Item.Cells[1].Enabled = true;

e.Item.Cells[1].FindControl("Active").Enabled = true;

But nothing seemed to work .


Plssssssss help me . Its very urgent


FYI

My html code is

<asp:EditCommandColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" UpdateText="Update" CancelText="Cancel" EditText="Edit"></asp:EditCommandColumn>
                                <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Inactive">
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <asp:CheckBox ID="Active" Runat="server" Enabled=False Checked='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Active")%>'>
                                        </asp:CheckBox>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                </asp:TemplateColumn>
                                <asp:BoundColumn DataField="Description" ReadOnly="True" HeaderText="Product Line"></asp:BoundColumn>
                                <asp:BoundColumn DataField="ProductLinecode" ReadOnly="True" HeaderText="Product Line Code"></asp:BoundColumn>
                                <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Fullfillment Extract">
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <asp:DropDownList ID="DropdownListFullfilment" Enabled="False" Runat="server" Width="100px"></asp:DropDownList>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                </asp:TemplateColumn>
                            </Columns>
                        </asp:datagrid></td>

try this

checkbox cb;
cb = (checkbox)(e.item.cells(1).control(0 or 1)
cb.enabled = true


all the best

Hai,

 The answer to checkbox is u just find out the control in which cell it is present and type caste it to checkbox and assign it to checkbox string and from that string u can enable or disable the control according to ur requirement.
Ex:
  in itemdatagrid bound or some other event it depends upon ur req

 CheckBox cb=(checkbox)e.item.cells[cellno].findControl("checkboxid");

then
 if(cb.Checked==true)
{
 //some code
}
else
{
  //some code
}
is it ok all the best

This is how I'd do it. Use the EditItemTemplate to change properties when editing the record.
Much easier.

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Fullfillment Extract">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:DropDownList ID="DropdownListFullfilment" Enabled="False" Runat="server" Width="100px"></asp:DropDownList>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:DropDownList ID="DropdownListFullfilment" Enabled="True" Runat="server" Width="100px"></asp:DropDownList>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
