how to programatically call a gridview event from codebehind.

[phpmel]

hi guys,

I have 2 gridviews, one inside a modal popup(gvSuppliers) and one on the page(gvFirms). The header row of the gvFirms has 4 text boxes. I can find those controls easily inside the selectedindexChanged method of gvSuppliers easilly when one row gvSupliers is selected. My problem arises when i try to find the 4 textboxes inside the emptydatatemplate of gvFirms.

Eg.

protected void gvSuppliers_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridViewRow row = gvSuppliers.SelectedRow;
        LinkButton linkbutton = (LinkButton)row.Cells[0].FindControl("LinkButton1");
        TextBox SupplierID = (TextBox)gvFirms.HeaderRow.FindControl("txtNewSupplierId");//This is the first textbox
}
 

My question is, inside gvSuppliers_SelectedIndexChanged method, how do i find the textboxes inside the emptydatatemplate of gvFirms.

one thought that crossed my mind was to programatically call the rowcommand event within the gvSuppliers_SelectedIndexChanged method and so i should have the GridViewCommandEventArgs e and then i could say something to this effect inside gvFirms_Rowcommand method

 if (e.CommandName.Equals("AddNewItem"))
            {
                GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((e.CommandSource as Button).NamingContainer);
 
                string categoryName = (row.FindControl("txtCategoryName") as TextBox).Text;
 
 

I dont know what to do
Please help asap

if (e.CommandName.Equals("AddNewItem"))
            {
                GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((e.CommandSource as Button).NamingContainer);
 
                string categoryName = (row.FindControl("txtCategoryName") as TextBox).Text;
 
Example :
CheckBox  cblogin = ( CheckBox) gr.FindControl ("chkLogin");
 
if(cblogin.checked)
{
 
}
Textbox t=(TextBox)gr.FindControl ("Textbox1");
 
string ss=t.text;
 

or this may work ...

 string categoryName = (row.FindControl("txtCategoryName") as TextBox).value ;// i dont recollect fully....

i dont think i asnwered your question correctly... can you explain further....
From what i understand.. i guess u will have to loop through all controls in gridview2 .... in case that is accessible to the original page..which i think is not?.
