Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this question belongs to FAQ, but I couldn't find a
concrete answer.
I created a Datagrid control using ItemTemplate, but it's NOT a
in-place editing datagrid. One of the columns of the data grid
contains a DropDownlist. I managed to create this datagrid control as
follows.
<asp:datagrid RunAt="server" id="dgItem" DataKeyField="ItemId"...
<columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Category">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList RunAt="server" ID="ddlCategory" />
......
The code-behind source looks like
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
dgTest.DataSource = GetItemList();
dgTest.DataBind();
}
}
private void OnItemDataBound(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
{
int itemId = (int)dgItem.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex];
DropDownList ddlCategory =
(DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlCategory");
ddlCategory .DataSource = GetCateoryList();
ddlCategory .DataBind();
}
}
This approach works quite well to populate the drop-down list and the
grid itself. However, I have two questions here.
1. How can I catch the "SelectedItemChanged" event fired from the
drop-down-list "ddlCategory"?
One of the previous posting mentioned that we can catch ControlAdded
event and add the SelectedItemChanged event there....
private void dataGrid1_ControlAdded(object sender, ControlEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Control.GetType == typeof(ComboBox))
((DropDownList)e.Control).SelectedIndexChanged += new
System.EventHandler(dropDownList_SelectedIndexChan ged);
}
Unfortunately, ControlAdded event is only for WinForms, not WebForms
(Right??)
A possible alternative is to use event bubbling. However, this
involves subclassing the dropdownlist to raise bubble event. Right?
Other than the event bubbling, is there any other easier method? Some
codes for illustration will be much appreciated.
2. The above datagrid items actually contains subitems. It is
something like
HeaderA HeaderB HeaderC
Item1A Item1B Item1C
Item11A Item11B Item11C
Item12A Item12B Item12C
Item2A Item2B Item2C
Item21A Item22B Item22C
where Item11A and Item12A is the sub-item of Item1A, etc.
I implemented the above as two levels of datagrid. Item1 and Item2
belong to datagrid of level1, while Item11, 12, 21, etc are level2. As
illustrated in the first part of my question, I can easily catch the
ItemDataBound event of level1 datagrid. But, how can I catch the
ItemDataBound of level2 data grid?
Thanks again

Thank you for your reply. But I still don't quite get it.
Since there are multiple rows in a datagrid, there will be multiple
Dropdownlists (each one corresponds to one row). So, when
DG1DropDownList is called, which row does it correspond to this event?
Please also see my second question regarding ItemDataBound. This is a
similar question to the first one. Instead of catching the
SelectedItemChanged event from a dropdownlist inside a row of a
datagrid, this is a question about how to catch a ItemDataBound event
from a datagrid inside a row of a datagrid.
Thanks
Dominic

You are correct, there will one eventhandler for all the dropdownlist. In
that eventhanlder,
If your try to get parent object of source, then it will give the
datagriditem(row) in which that dropdownlist was changed. From dataitem you
can do whatever you want, but you cant get the rowindex directly. For
example, check out this event handler for dropdownlist in which i am
changing a hiddenitem value in that row when dropdownlist value is changed
in that row
Sub DG2DropDownListSelect(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Dim oDropDownList As DropDownList
Dim oGenControl As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputHidden
oDropDownList = CType(sender, DropDownList)
oGenControl = oDropDownList.Parent.FindControl("DataGrid2RecordS tate")
oGenControl.Value = "Changed"
End Sub
i hope you understand this approach...

news:2b**************************@posting.google.c om... Thanks again for your response. I'm sorry if I didn't put my question more clearly. Let me try to understand your approach first. My understanding is that even though there may be multiple rows (each contains one one dropdownlist control), there is only one event handler DG1DropDownListSelect for all of the dropdownlist controls. Is that right? If this correct, I expect that there must be a way that the event handler can figure out which row it corresponds to. For example, below is the event handler.
private void DG1DropDownListSelect(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { rowIndex = e.???? }
