[Solved] Add capability of RadGrid

[DC]

Hi,
I have a rad grid with only Add and Delete functionality. Please note that there is no "EDIT" button on the records.
when I click on "Add" the new row for adding a new record shows up but when the grid is in Add mode, I dont see "insert" and "cancel" buttons on the new row. This thing does not happen when I have "Edit" button on the grid. Please advice as to how can I have "insert" and "cancel" buttons on the new row when there is no edit button on the grid.

Thanks
DC

Hello,

One suggestion would be using FormTemplate for showing custom insert form with buttons for insert and cancel functions. See the example.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
    DataKeyNames="CustomerID">
    <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template" UserControlName="WebUserControl.ascx">
        <FormTemplate>
            <table id="tab">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">
                            <Items>
                                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item1" />
                                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item2" />
                            </Items>
                        </telerik:RadComboBox>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Insert" CommandName="PerformInsert" />
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Cancel" CommandName="Cancel" />
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </FormTemplate>
    </EditFormSettings>
    <Columns>
      . . .
    </Columns>
</MasterTableView>

Hi DC,

When using Inplace editmode, you can have the EditCommandColumn displayed in the grid, inorder to show the insert and cancel buttons. Then you can hide the EditCommandColumn conditionally using the following code:
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridDataInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("EditCommandColumnUniqueName").Visible = true;
            foreach (GridDataItem dataItem in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
            {
                ((LinkButton)dataItem["EditCommandColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0]).Visible = false;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("EditCommandColumnUniqueName").Visible = false;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
