[Solved] Grid always in edit mode

[Veshala]

Hi,

This is continuation to the previous ticket

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/grid-always-in-edit-mode.aspx#1005390

I added the following code to make grid editable.

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (inti = 0; i < RadGrid1.PageSize;i++)
{
RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Add(i);
}
}

I have the paging applied on the grid. Whenever i click on next page, the page refreshes and grid going back to non editable mode.

How to make grid in editable mode all the time without additional rebinding .

Thanks

Hi Veshala,

I tried the same code in DataBinding event of RadGrid and found it is working fine without additional rebinding.

CS:

    protected void RadGrid1_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < RadGrid1.PageSize; i++)
        {
            RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Add(i);
        }
    }

Regards,
Shinu.

Hi Shinu,

Sorry for late reply. I was off yesterday.

I tried with following event. But it doesn't work for me.

protected void RadGrid1_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < RadGrid1.PageSize; i++)
        {
            RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Add(i);
        }
    }

These are the following event handlers i have for RadGrid.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < grdAnnouncements.PageSize; i++)
            {
                grdAnnouncements.EditIndexes.Add(i);
            }
        }

protected void grdAnnouncements_NeedDataSource(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
        {
            PopulateGrid();
        }

protected void grdAnnouncements_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < grdAnnouncements.PageSize; i++)
            {
                grdAnnouncements.EditIndexes.Add(i);
            }
        }

protected void grdAnnouncements_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
                CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)dataItem["Active"].Controls[0];
                chk.Checked = true;

                dataItem["EditCommandColumn"].Controls[0].Visible = false;
            }

protected void grdAnnouncements_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
            {
                LinkButton updateButton = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("UpdateButton");
                updateButton.Visible = false;

                LinkButton cancelButton = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("CancelButton");
                cancelButton.Visible = false;
            }
        }

I am attaching snapshot of page.

Please help me, it is very urgent.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Veshala,

To make the answer of the support ticket available for the community I am also posting it here:

Below are listed the different approaches you can use to turn the grid items into edit mode.

Using the following code:

protected void MyGrid_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem)
        {
            (e.Item as GridEditableItem).Edit = true;
        }
    }

Here no additional rebind is required.

You can apply the following code on RadGrid PreRender event:

protected void MyGrid_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < MyGrid.PageSize; i++)
        {
            MyGrid.EditIndexes.Add(i);
        }
        MyGrid.Rebind();
    }

This approach however requires you to rebind your grid after setting the items into edit mode.
