How can I access a datagrid control during Edit event?

[Stan]

This is how I access Pieces field in my editable datargid during Update
event:

protected void grdMain_OnUpdat e(Object sender, DataGridCommand EventArgs e)
{
string Pieces = ((TextBox) e.Item.FindCont rol ("txtPieces")). Text;
....
}
I need to highlight this field when user clicks Edit. (This makes easier for
them to overwrite the content of the field). However, the same code does not
work during
Edit event - FindControl returns null. It looks like the the control is not
available at this time...
Is there a way for me to access it AFTER user clicked Edit but BEFORE
Update?

Thanks,

-Stan

Hello Stan,

DataGrid dgTemp = ((DataGrid)send er);
if(dgTemp.EditI temIndex == e.Item.ItemInde x)
{
if(e.Item.ItemT ype.ToString() != "Header" && e.Item.ItemType .ToString() != "Footer")
{
DropDownList ddlTemp = ((DropDownList) e.Item.FindCont rol("myDDL"));
ddlTemp.Items.F indByText("myLo okupValue").Sel ected=true;
}
}

This code could probably be simplified further, but it should be a good starting point.

HTH.
