Insert default values in gridtemplate editmode=popup

[Harald]

Hallo,
when I am use radgrid editmode=popup with a web user controll with insert action the template was displayed with empty field (no datarecord was bound).
For a better useibility I want to preset the template fields with default values. But how can I do this? To set the fields in the user control has no affect becaus it would be overitten after bounding to the empty insert record.

Hi Harald,

You can use the ItemDataBound event handler to achieve this requirement. Distinguish the edit form from the insert form:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/data-editing/distinguish-edit-or-insert-mode

Copy Code

Copy Code

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
        if (item is IGridInsertItem)
        {
            // insert mode logic
        }
        else
        {
            // edit mode logic
        }
    }
}

And access the generated controls to set their initial value for user convenience:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-controls-in-editinsert-mode

I hope this will prove helpful.
