Hi,

Try the following code snippet in order to change the width of the textboxes shown in the EditForm.

CS:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            TextBox textbox = (TextBox)editItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            textbox.Width = Unit.Pixel(250);
        }
    }

-Shinu.

Hi again,
If i use a template to edit the grid, how can i insert records.
Edit and delete works fine, see code.

Hello Gert,

Here's the link to an online demo which demonstrates on how to insert records when using a form template. This should probably help you out.
Form Template Edit Form

Thanks

Thank you VERY much, but i get theese errors, see attached image:

Hi Gert,

 I suppose you write in VB.NET language - if so, you will need to use the binding expresion syntax from the DefaultVB.aspx tab of the online example.

So, it isn't possible to do it without coding ?
( i am trying to keep it as simple as possible )

Hello Gert,

The minimal code you can have for this purpose is the conditional binding expression in question.

Sorry if i seem stupid, but can you please mark the code you mean with:
" conditional binding expression in question"

Thanks...

Hello Gert,

Replace the binding expression of the button using its VB version as shown below:
aspx:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" Text='<%# IIf((TypeOf(Container) is GridEditFormInsertItem), "Insert", "Update") %>'
 runat="server" CommandName='<%# IIf((TypeOf(Container) is GridEditFormInsertItem), "PerformInsert", "Update")%>' >
</asp:Button>

Hope this helps..
Princy.
