in the file explorer control, what is an easy way to have file names show as hyperlinks to the file so they can be opened? i.e. pdf's or .docs

I would like to be able to both be able to rename (TextControl) and link to (Custom Control) a file showing in the FileExplorer control. I would like to e able to do this all in one column, if possible, but would settle for doing my editing in the TextBox and my linking from the Custom Control. The problem I'm having is that when I rename the file, the href and text values in the Custom Control are retaining the old name. I was looking for a way to change those values (or do a refresh) in either the client or server renaming handlers, but haven't found a way to access the contents of the CustomControl cell when handling an event for the TextControl cell.

Here is the relevant markup from the FileExplorer:

<eo:CustomColumn HeaderText="View File" Width="-1" MinWidth="150"
DataField="FileName" ClientSideGetText="FormatFileLink"></eo:CustomColumn>
<eo:TextBoxColumn Name="FileName" HeaderText="File Name" Width="-1" MinWidth="150" ClientSideEndEdit="EndRename"></eo:TextBoxColumn>
<eo:EditCommandColumn Name="Rename" Width="48"></eo:EditCommandColumn>

and here is the handler which creates a hyperlink in the CustomControl:

function FormatFileLink(column, item, cellValue) {
filename = cellValue;
var path = item.abr;
index = path.indexOf("|");
path = path.substr(2, index - 2)
return "<a href='" + path + "' target='_blank'>" + filename + "</a>";
}

and where I went to attempt to get/manipulate the cell containing the formatted hyperlink:

function EndRename() {
var grid = eo_GetObject("FileGrid");
//but what do I do to get to and change the hyperlink values in the CustomControl cell?
}

thanks,

Pete
