Where's the text in a hyperlink col?

Tina

I'm going through a DataGridItem looking to find the text in a hyperlink
column. It's not in mydataGridItem. cells(3).text. Where is it?
thanks,

Hi Tiny,

Try setting trace="true" in your page so you can see all of the objects that
appear. You might find that there are literal controls in the item that you
haven't accounted for.

The trace is a mess that shows up behind my controls and report - unreadable
as is often the case. You would think there would be some docs on such a
thing.

Hi,

It wont be accessible through mydataGridItem. cells(3).text. You need to
access your control inside controls collection in a cell, for example.

mydataGridItem. cells(3).Findco ntrol("yourcont rolname") or
mydataGridItem. cells(3).contro l(0)

The Immediate window readout is....
?item.Cells(3). Controls(0)
{System.Web.UI. WebControls.Hyp erLink}
[System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Hype rLink]:
{System.Web.UI. WebControls.Hyp erLink}
BindingContaine r: {System.Web.UI. WebControls.Dat aGridItem}
ClientID: "dgbudgets__ctl 2__ctl0"
Controls: {System.Web.UI. ControlCollecti on}
EnableViewState : True
ID: Nothing
NamingContainer : {System.Web.UI. WebControls.Dat aGridItem}
Page: {ASP.TestFeeder _aspx}
Parent: {System.Web.UI. WebControls.Tab leCell}
Site: Nothing
TemplateSourceD irectory: "/GridPrinter"
UniqueID: "dgbudgets:_ctl 2:_ctl0"
Visible: True

but there is no text value or ID that could get a text value. I use
findcontrol a lot for template columns but using the column name with
findcontrol finds nothing. I know the text has to be in there somewhere.

I've been lurking this conversation because I have the same need. Neither
of those two methods work. The first doesn't work because a hyperlink is
not a template column. The second, ...control(0) show a hyperlink object
but no text or anything that contains the text. I'll try a new thread on
this. seems nobody knows.

If you post your code, i will tell you the exact way to find the text of
that hyperlink. Surely you can find it using the method i mentioned in
previous post.

Text from a Hyperlink column in a datagrid

by: GaryB | last post by:

Does anyone have any idea how to get the text out of a hyperlink column in a web datagrid? It's a hyperlink column, not a template column so findcontrol does not work and there is no apparent name to look for. myGridItem.cells(0).controls(0) shows no text properties or anything that points to or contains the text.
