Duplicate Title Caption String in Automatic Edit and Insert Forms

[Manuel Ortiz]

Hello,

I am using the Popup Edit Forms with my RadGrid.  When I set the MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString to some string, the Popup window appears with two titles that say the same thing: the title of the window, and a form title below the window's title.  Both captions say the same thing...

I would like to remove the form title but leave the Popup window title... Is that possible??

Thanx,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,

Try out the following code to remove the form title:
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
   {
     GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
     ((System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow)(item.Controls[1].Controls[0].Controls[1].Controls[0].Controls[0])).Visible=false;

   }
}

Thanks
Princy.

I'm using the latest version (2010 Q3 build 1317.40) and this is still happening.

What is the reasoning behind having a duplicate label in the popup edit form and for us having to write code in the codebehind to remove it?

Hello Jerry,

I tried to replicate the issue which you described, but to no avail - you can take a look at the first grid from this demo.

Please, let me know if there are any differences at your end, which I may be leaving out.

That popup edit form *does* have the title duplicated. I noticed that immediately from that demo you linked.

Here's a screenshot:

Hello Jerry,

Thank you for additional information.

The demonstrated look is expected due the way the grid pop-up edit form is rendered.

Please use the workaround provided by Princy to overcome it.

All the best,

Well, my question is, why is it that after 2 years of updates/new releases is there not some simple way (such as via an attribute) to turn off that duplicate title?

Or, better yet, why isn't that duplicate title just removed from the pop-up form completely? Or at least turn it off by default and allow an attribute to turn it on if someone should desire that functionality.

As it is now, it makes the pop-up form look kludgy, like someone left duplicate code in place.

Hello Jerry,

Thank you for your feedback.

I have escalated the issue to our developers team and they will create a property whether to show the  caption in the edit form itself.

I hope this helps.

Bump, this just stung me.  Took me about 30 mins of searching trying to find out how to turn it off.  Any status?

Hello David ,

Our developers have added the requested property and you can get our latest internal build and try it. To disable the caption you need to add the following markup:

<EditFormSettings PopUpSettings-ShowCaptionInEditForm="false"  >
</EditFormSettings>
