Control ID

[Eddie Celebi]

Folks

I want to call a vbscript function from a dynamically created template edit
control but I am having trouble with autogenerated control ID I set
control.ID = "X" but when its rendered it has become grid:ctrl12:X or
something.
How can I get round this issue. I either need to be able to set it and
datagrid not to change it or get the generated one.
I set the call in OnDataBinding event eg

public void OnDataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

TextBox t = (TextBox) sender;

DataGridItem container = (DataGridItem) t.NamingContainer;

object val = ((DataRowView) container.DataItem)[colname];

if (val == null)

t.Text = "";

else

t.Text = val.ToString();

t.ID = "DateCol";

string id = t.ID.ToString();


// t.Attributes.Add("onchange","ConvertDate(" + "grid__ctl12_DateCol" +
".value)");

t.Attributes.Add("onchange","ConvertDate(" + "DateCol" + ".value)");



Any help most welcome.

Is it possible to reset the counter of the automatic id generator of the
ControlCollection?
When I add a Control to a new ControlCollection it recive the id "ctl1", if
the ControlCollection is cleared, the automatic counter won't be reset and
the next added control recive the id "ctl2".

hi,

any reason as to why u need to reset the counter,
You can assign an ID to the control at design time.
Dont implement the inaming container interface to prevent prefixing the
controls with "ctlxxx".
