[RESOLVED] Fill Text boxes on row select in datagrid THANKS SEAN

i have a datagrid and put a select button column

when the select buttton is pressed i wish to load the data into textboxes and change the colour of the row,

at the moment when the select button is presssed nothing actually happens

does anyone know how to select the row in this way
is it possible to change the colour of the row selected

Thanks

You should be able to do that using the ItemCommand event of the Datagrid and MyDataGrid.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex)

yeah ive been messin around with it cant seem to get anything working-
nightmare
this hangover aint helpin niether lol

I haven't done it, but I assume it would be pretty straight forward.

Private Sub dgMyGrid_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgCalls.ItemCommand

If e.CommandName = "Select" Then

dgMyGrid.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).ForeColor = Color.Red

Dim txtMyText As Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox = e.Item.FindControl("MyTextBox")

txtMyText.Text = SomeFunctionToGetDataFromDB()

End If

End Sub

i put this in to seee if i could chanbe colour to start off with,
nothing happens

i had to change handles dgcalls to my datagrid name is this coorect
on pressing select button nothin happens

VB Code:

Private Sub dgMyGrid_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgMsgIn.ItemCommand
 
        If e.CommandName = "Select" Then
 
            dgMsgIn.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).BorderColor = Color.Red
 
     
 
        End If
 
    End Sub

Are you sure your Datagrid has borders? Is your commandname set to Select? Did you put a break point in there and make sure it stepped through?

<asp:ButtonColumn Text="Select" CommandName="Select"></asp:ButtonColumn>

The Colour Change Works Now Dude Thats A Million

can i not change this

VB Code:

Dim txtMyText As Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox = e.Item.FindControl("MyTextBox")
txtMyText.Text = SomeFunctionToGetDataFromDB()

to something like when the select button pressed txtTime.text = column 3, txtmsg.text=coulmn 4 etc.....

Yeah, what I showed you was for Text Boxes embedded in the Datagrid in Template Columns. if they are outside the datagrid, I'm sure you can do something along the lines of:

Text1.Text = dgMyGrid.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).Cells(3).Text
