Hello, Kapil,

Setting the AllowAddNewRow property to true enables the new row. However, please have in mind that the "Click here to add a new row" text is shown only when the new row is NOT current:

Once the new row is selected, the text is hidden and you are expected to see the respective cells. The RadGridView.CurrentRow property controls which row is currently focused. You can set it either to null or to any of the data rows stored in the RadGridView.Rows collection. Thus, the new row text will be shown.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello raj,

Thank you for writing.

You can hide "Click here to add new row" by using the designer or programmatically.
 
If you want to use the designer, select RadGridView and in the Properties panel, navigate to the MasterGridViewTemplate property, then click the "+" sign to open a list of its subproperties and set the AllowAddNewRow property to false.

To do this programmatically, paste the following code snippet into the Form_Load event handler:
radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AllowAddNewRow = false

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi Sofia,

Thank you for bringing this question to our attention. You can set the text in this row to string.Empty by creating and using your own localization provider. Here is the sample code:

public partial class Form1 : Form 
    public Form1() 
    { 
        InitializeComponent(); 
        RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new CustomLocalizationProvider(); 
    } 
 
public class CustomLocalizationProvider : RadGridLocalizationProvider 
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id) 
    { 
        switch (id) 
        { 
            case RadGridStringId.AddNewRowString: return string.Empty; 
        } 
 
        return base.GetLocalizedString(id); 
    } 

Please, keep in mind that this localization provider is static and will be used from that point on for all instances of RadGridView. If you'd like to go back to the original one, you need to set it back at an appropriate time in the execution of the application.

Consult the Localization example of the RadGridView in our examples application. In the code, you'll notice that the default localization provider is restored when the form is closed.

If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

        Select Case id 
            Case RadGridStringId.AddNewRowString 
                Return String.Empty 
        End Select 
 
        Return MyBase.GetLocalizedString(id)

Hi Krishnan,

Thank you for writing.

You can change the text alignment of the new row in ViewCellFormatting event. Please consider the following code snippet:
void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.RowElement is GridNewRowElement)
    {
        e.CellElement.RowElement.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
        if (e.CellElement is GridRowHeaderCellElement)
        {
            if (this.radGridView1.IsInEditMode)
            {
                e.CellElement.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
            }
            else
            {
                e.CellElement.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;
            }
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Sheraz Naseeb,

Thanks for writing.

You can change the default text of new row element in the RowFormatting event:

void radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.RowElement is GridNewRowElement)
    {
        e.RowElement.Text = "My custom add new row text";
    }
}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Telerik Team,

This GridNewRowElement does not work in ViewRowFormatting event and it says "'GridNewRowElement' is a type and cannot be used as experession". I even tried to cast it as RowElement but not working. My code is as following.

If e.RowElement Is DirectCast(e.RowElement, GridNewRowElement) Then
    e.RowElement.Text = "MyText"
End If

And I would like to do the same thing with my "Drag a column here to group by this column." I would like to add custom text here or may be just remove that text but still enable grouping.

Please help,

Many thanks,

Sheraz

Hi guys,

Vinh, this topic covers only RadGridView for WinForms. Please open a new thread in our Silverlight section with your questions in order to get appropriate response.

Sheraz, please try the following code in VB:
 
Private Sub radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting(sender As Object, e As RowFormattingEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.RowElement Is GridNewRowElement Then
        e.RowElement.Text = "My custom add new row text"
    End If
End Sub

Let me know if it still does not do the job.

Hello Martin,

Thats very kind of you sending me the sample project, but unfortunately I have to say that its not working on my end. I have attached a jpg image for your reference.

First of all the version I am using is Q1 2009, and I guess in this version we dont have "RadGridView1.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.Text" property so I have to comment that.

It will be explained more when you see the image.

Thanks,

Sheraz

Hello Sheraz Naseeb,

Thank you for contacting me again.

Now I understand that you are using an old version of RadControls and that is the reason why my project do not work on your side. I highly recommend upgrading to the latest version Q2 2010 SP2, which contains a lot of improvements and fixes. It also would allow you to change the add new row and group panel text according to your needs.

I am using the code in example but it only change text when user is in edit mode on the row "Click here to add a new row"
The rest of the time the text wont change.

void radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.RowElement is GridNewRowElement)
    {
        e.RowElement.Text = "My custom add new row text";

Hello,

I would suggest to use a custom RadGridLocalizationProvider to achieve this, it's the cleanest approach and also the easiest to maintain, plus you can use the same provider for multiple grids.

You can find a sample on somewhere on top of this page, but also, following up is a sample adapted to your question:
RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new CustomLocalizationProvider();
 
public class CustomLocalizationProvider : RadGridLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case RadGridStringId.AddNewRowString:
                return "My custom add new row text";
        }
 
        return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,
Emanuel Varga

The localization angle looks interesting, but I don't think it'll work for my scenario.  I have a grid with 3 different hierarchy levels and we'd like the text to be different at each level.

It'd be great if the e.RowElement.Text trick worked, but I'm using the latest tools (2010.2.10.914) and I can confirm that it only displays my custom text after a user has clicked in the row.  Is there a different property that I'm missing?

Sorry to double post, but I found a workaround:

First you need to implement a custom GridNewRowElement:

public class CustomGridNewRowElement : GridNewRowElement
{
    //Prevent themes from getting all messed up
    protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(GridNewRowElement);
        }
    }
  
    public override void UpdateContentVisibility(bool showCells)
    {
        base.UpdateContentVisibility(showCells);
  
        if (this.Text != string.Empty)
        {
            if (this.RowInfo.HierarchyLevel == 0)
            {
                this.Text = "Click here to add a new Level 0 Thing";
            }
            else if (this.RowInfo.HierarchyLevel == 1)
            {
                this.Text = "Click here to add a new Level 1 Thing";
            }
            else if (this.RowInfo.HierarchyLevel == 2)
            {
                this.Text = "Click here to add a new Level 2 Thing";
            }
        }
    }
}

Next you do the following either in the OnCreateRow call of a custom grid class or in the CreateRow event handler:

if (e.RowType == typeof(GridNewRowElement))
  e.RowType = typeof(CustomGridNewRowElement);
 
//only do this if you're using a custom GridView class
base.OnCreateRow(sender, e);

Hello, @Brian: Thank you for sharing your sollution with the community. I have to add something i I may, I had some bad experiences when using the CreateRow event, because of grid virtualization because the grid reuses cells, it might cause some anomalies. If you notice any kind of problems I suggest you implement and use a custom cell provider also. Honestly I prefer overriding the localization, easier to keep consistency troughout the software.

Thanks for the heads up.  I'll keep my eyes open, but I haven't seen anything suspicious yet.  It seems like that UpdateContentVisibility method gets called whenever the row gets formatted, so I'm hoping it won't be an issue.

Hi,

It seems if I use the RadGridView, 
the option "click here to add new row" is only visible after I edited the first row.
If i use 'tab' to navigate through the cells i eventually enter a new second row.
But at that moment the option "click here to add new row" is not available anymore.
Is it possible to make that option ALWAYS available and make it not dissapear when i enter a new row by 'tabbing'

thanks,
simon

Hi Simon,

Thank you for writing.

As already mentioned in some of the posts above, the availability of a GridNewRowElement is controlled by the value of the AllowAddNewRow property of the grid and by default it is set to true.

Indeed, it is possible to reach a behavior where the text of the GridNewRowElement is missing. This might happen in a grid in which the columns are present but there are no data rows. In this case the first row becomes CurrentRow and the cells responsible for user input become visible. You can set the CurrentRow property to null and this way the text of the GridNewRowElement would be visible right after the form has been loaded.

If this in not your exact case please provide me with some additional information so that I can reproduce it and provide you with a solution.

Regards,
Hristo

You can achieve it by setting the RadGridView.AddNewRowPosition property to SystemRowPosition.Bottom.

Hi!

I'n my rgv I've set AllowAddNewRow  = true, but still I'm not able to cange the "add new row"-line.

e.RowElement is never GridNewRowElement. Any sugestions? I just want to change the colors, not realy the text.

        private void rgv_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.RowElement is GridNewRowElement)
            {
                e.RowElement.Text = "My custom add new row text";
                e.RowElement.DrawFill = true;
                e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.Navy;
                e.RowElement.NumberOfColors = 1;
            }
        }

Hello Terje,

Thank you for writing.

Please make sure that you subscribe to the ViewRowFormatting event since the RowFormatting event fires only for the data rows: Row Formatting. Please check my code snippet below: 
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
 
        this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.GetData();
       
        this.radGridView1.ViewRowFormatting += radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting;
    }
 
    private void radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.RowElement is GridNewRowElement)
        {
            e.RowElement.Text = "My custom add new row text";
            e.RowElement.DrawFill = true;
            e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.Navy;
            e.RowElement.NumberOfColors = 1;
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
