Different form templates in EditFormSettings of rad grid

[ankool]

Hi,

Can we have different form template for different commands ?
In my application i want different templates in case of  'Add New Record' and 'Edit'. Is it possible ?

If yes, can you give an example of how to use it.


Thanks

Hi Ankool,

You can achieve this using UserControl edit form as shown in the following help article.
Different edit forms on edit and insert

Thanks Shinu.


Also, i would like to know that can i bind a text field of a column in detail table to a column value in parent Master Table.

<

MasterTableView AllowMultiColumnSorting="True" Width="100%" CommandItemDisplay="Top" DataKeyNames="ID">
<DetailTables>
<radG:GridTableView Width="80%" AutoGenerateColumns="false" HierarchyLoadMode="ServerBind"
runat="server" CommandItemDisplay="Top" PageSize="3" Name="Roles" DataKeyNames="PartyID">
<ParentTableRelation>
<radG:GridRelationFields DetailKeyField="PartyID" MasterKeyField="ID" />
</ParentTableRelation>
<Columns>

<radG:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" UniqueName="EditCommandColumn1">
</radG:GridEditCommandColumn>

<radG:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="PartyID" Visible="false" DataField="PartyID"UniqueName="PartyID">
</radG:GridBoundColumn>

<radG:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="PartyName" Visible="false" DataField="PartyName" UniqueName="PartyName">
</radG:GridBoundColumn>

<radG:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Role" HeaderText="Role" DataField="Role" UniqueName="Role">
</radG:GridBoundColumn>

<radG:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Component" HeaderText="Component" DataField="Component"UniqueName="Component">
</radG:GridBoundColumn>

<radG:GridButtonColumn ConfirmText="Delete this product?" ButtonType="ImageButton"CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" UniqueName="DeleteColumn1"></radG:GridButtonColumn>

</Columns>

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="template">

<FormTemplate>
<asp:TextBox id="txtMasterTableColumnName" runat="server" Width="161px" CssClass="ContentFontReadOnly" Text='<%#Bind("Name") %>'></asp:TextBox>

</FormTemplate>

</EditFormSettings>

<PagerStyle Mode="numericPages" PagerTextFormat="" />

</radG:GridTableView>

</DetailTables>
<Columns>
<radG:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="ID" Visible="false" DataField="ID" UniqueName="ID"></radG:GridBoundColumn>
<radG:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Name" HeaderText="Party Involved" DataField="Name" UniqueName="Name"></radG:GridBoundColumn>
</Columns>
</MasterTableView>

Now, in above code, i require binding of a textbox in formatemplate of a detail table with a column in master table called "Name".

Can this be achieved ?

Hi Ankool,

You can achieve this if your are binding both the Master and detail table with the same DataSource.
Update/Insert/Delete in hierarchy

Hi,

Thanks but i am using a dataset ( created from a xml) to load both parent and child grid table views. So the only option to bind controls is by using <%#Bind("")%> syntax in controls value.

So what to do in this case ?
