Hello everyone.
I have done a lot of reading regarding the recursive issue with FindControl. I have a FormView with an <EditItemTempla te> and all I want to do is add javascript attributes to the form control like this:
smsTxt.Attribut es.Add("onkeydo wn", "backspacerDOWN (this,event);") ;
My goal is to use JavaScript with the ASP.NET controls. I found some code on another forum to do the recursive lookup and here it is: - public static class Utils
-
{
-
public static Control FindControl(this Control root, string id, bool recurse)
-
{
-
if (!recurse)
-
{
-
return root.FindControl(id);
-
}
-
System.Web.UI.Control controlFound;
-
if (root != null)
-
{
-
controlFound = root.FindControl(id);
-
if (controlFound != null)
-
{
-
return controlFound;
-
}
-
foreach (Control c in root.Controls)
-
{
-
controlFound = c.FindControl(id, true);
-
if (controlFound != null)
-
{
-
return controlFound;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
return null;
-
}
-
}
-
I have my code to add the attributes in the Page_Load: - TextBox smsTxt = FormView1.FindControl("SMSTextBox", true) as TextBox;
-
if (smsTxt != null)
-
{
-
smsTxt.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "backspacerDOWN(this,event);");
-
smsTxt.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "backspacerUP(this,event);");
-
}
I am not getting any errors, but it does not add the Attributes to the control. I don't think it is actually finding the Textbox control. I wrapped the new FindControl in a Class because I was getting an error. Not sure if I even did that right. I am pretty new to .NET programming.
Can someone help me with this? I sure appreciate it!!
Thank you all.

If you were getting an error, you should check in to see why you were getting that error, instead of just hiding it.
Have you set a breakpoint and stepped through to see if the control is found?

I have seen the following behavior: when issuing a Page.FindControl() for a
control which exists in an item template (from within an ItemDataBound()
event, for example), I get nulls back regularly. Has anyone seen this
before? It's pretty aggravating to have to iterate through the controls in
each grid cell to find the ones I need, especially since finding those cells
is not always easy. Here's my ItemDataBound() handler:

Hello,
I am using the code below to set the values of a DetailsView template field
using FindControl. My question is how would you find a control if its a
Boundfield control?
For example, how would I reference the following BoundField ("NTAccount") in
the Sub dvDetail_PreRender sub? Any help would be appreciated...
<asp:BoundField DataField="NTAccount" HeaderText="NT Account" />

If you had a FileUpload control inside of a FormView...how would you

The purpose is to insert a graphic in the InsertItemTemplate section of
