Accessing controls in the edititemtemplate of a listview

by

I am working with the listview control. By default I am showing the itemtemplate with an edit button. When the edit button is pressed the listview switches to the edititemtemplate. I need to populate one of the controls in the edititemtemplate based on the item being edited – I’ve tried accessing the control (via FindControl) in the ItemEditing event (and pretty much every other event as well), however the controls just don’t seem to exist. I can access controls in the itemtemplate ok, but not the edititemtemplate.
