Hi guys,

I need to retrieve the selected value of a GridViewDataComboBoxColumn in RowInserting handler, with a grid view set to Inline editing mode.

Here the code I use to initialize my cell editor and handling the RowInserting event :

protected void Products_GridView_CellEditorInitialize(Object sender, ASPxGridViewEditorEventArgs e)
{
            ASPxGridView grid = (ASPxGridView)sender;
            ASPxTextBox textBox = null;
            ASPxComboBox comboBox = null;
            ASPxSpinEdit spinEdit = null;

            if (e.Column.FieldName == "ProductName")
            {
                comboBox = e.Editor as ASPxComboBox;
                comboBox.ID = "ProductName_ComboBox";
                comboBox.DropDownStyle = DropDownStyle.DropDown;
                comboBox.ValueField = "Guid";
                comboBox.TextField = "ProductName";
                comboBox.DataSource = ProductsList;
                comboBox.DataBind();
            }
}

protected void Products_GridView_RowInserting(Object sender, ASPxDataInsertingEventArgs e)
{
            ASPxGridView grid = sender as ASPxGridView;

            GridViewDataComboBoxColumn column = (GridViewDataComboBoxColumn)grid.Columns["ProductName"];

           // Column is not null, great !

            ASPxComboBox comboBox = (ASPxComboBox)grid.FindEditRowCellTemplateControl(column, "ProductName_ComboBox");

           // comboBox is ALWAYS NULL !!!???

            e.Cancel = true;
            grid.CancelEdit();
 }

Is there something wrong here ? Why is the FindEditRowCellTemplateControl method returning null ?

Thanks by advance,

Eric Morand.

Hi Eric,

Have you tried the e.NewValues["ProductName"]  property?
