Popup edit form DropDownlist

[Steve]

Hi,

    I'm a newbie with Popup edit form.  I did many search and succeed to hide some fields in edit mode, customize the form, etc.  However, I'm not able to show a DropDownList in the popup window.  When I add it, the popup form does not display correctly. 

Here is the EditorTemplate for UniteAdministrative.ascx :

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<dynamic>" %>

<%
    var controlName = ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(String.Empty);
    Html.Telerik().DropDownList().Name(controlName).DataBinding(binding =>
    {
        binding.Ajax().Select("_FillUniteAdmDropDownList", "Members");
    })
    .Render();

%>

Here is the controller code:

[Authorize]
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult _FillUniteAdmDropDownList(string text)
{
    var unites = _container.GetUnitesAdmLight();
    if (text.HasValue())
        unites = unites.Where(u => u.Nom.StartsWith(text));
    return new JsonResult { Data = new SelectList(unites.ToList(), "Pk", "Nom") };
 }

Here is the column in Model:

    [Required]
    [DisplayName("Admin unit")]
    [UIHint("UniteAdministrative")]
public int fk_Unite_UniteAdm {get;set;}

Thank you
Steve

Since your drop down list is in a partial view, I think you may have to manually add the JavaScript file references for the drop down control.

You can see what files you need to include here:

DropDownList

1. jquery-1.4.3.min.js
2. telerik.common.min.js
3. telerik.list.min.js

Thank you very much.  it works.  The little remaining problem I have is to select the value from Model.  I tried to copy paste the onedit method I had on another grid bound with Ajax, But with inline editing instead of popup editing and It does not work for me?  Is it supposed to work the same way?  If so, I will continue my search...

Thank you

I am also facing the same issue. I added the script tag in the partial view still I am having the same error.

Hi,
  I am not able to get dropdowns in the Pop up when i set the Grid's editing mode to Pop up. 
Also the "Model" in the  partial view  DisplayTemplates\Industry.ascx is throwing object not set to reference exception.


DisplayTemplate\Industry.ascx :

 

 

 

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<WebApp1.Models.IndustryType>" %>
<%= Html.Encode(Model.IndustryTypeName) %>

PFB the partial view of EditorTemplates\Industry.ascx:

 

 

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<IndustryType>" %>
<%= Html.Telerik().DropDownList()
        .Name(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(string.Empty))
                            .BindTo(new SelectList((IEnumerable)ViewData["industry"], "IndustryTypeID", "IndustryTypeName", Model == null ? "" : Model.IndustryTypeID.ToString()))
%>

 

 

 

But the same code works perfectly fine when the editing mode of the grid is set to "InLine".

Any help??
