GridBoundColumn

[New User]

I have a column in my grid that needs to change from either a dropdownbox or textbox based on the previous columns dropdown value.
Is this possible?

If you have any suggestions would be helpful.

Hello,

One easy method is using GridTemplateColumn with DropDownList and TextBox inside EditItemTemplate. Then based on the selected value of DropDownColumn set the visibility of controls (DropDownList and TextBox) accordingly. Sample code is given below.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
        </asp:DropDownList>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

C#:(Try the following code in SelectedIndexChanged event of DropDownColumn.)

protected void DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

      DropDownList list = (DropDownList)sender;

      GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)list.NamingContainer;

      DropDownList drlist = (DropDownList)editItem.FindControl("DropDownList1");

      TextBox txtbox = (TextBox)editItem.FindControl("TextBox1");

      if (list.SelectedValue == "Davic")// your condition


      {

          drlist.Visible = false;

          txtbox.Visible = true;

      }

      else

      {

          txtbox.Visible = false;

          drlist.Visible = true;

      }

  }

Thanks,
Princy.
