catch sender outside the event handler

[SABhatti]

is it possible to catch sender in any other function than the actual event handler? what I want is to catch save button click event in pageload or itemcreated. I know I can do it using javascript and hidden field, but is it possible with out javascript? thanks in advance. -----

Interesting... why would you want to know that in the page load or itemcreated event? what's your special need? Just wondering, cause I think it's not possible. I just hope I'm very very wrong :P. daniero

well :-D i thought if I catch thi then I can validate the data and replace the textbox with dropdownlist... but it won't help because in itemcreated... you cannot get values of datagrid items.. these are only accessible after itembound... so I may have to go for someother approach.. to retain the dropdownlist after next postback.. ;P -----
