AJAX Filtering using a RadComboBox in Insert mode

[Mike West]

I've got a RadGrid that uses the basic inline insert and update functionality combined with RadComboBoxes for many of my fields in the EditItemTemplates. I want to combine my solution with the "Grid / Google-like Filtering" example that's posted at: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandcombo/defaultcs.aspx?product=grid.

What I want to happen is an AutoPostBack when the selected item is changed in the postback that filters the table based on the "Company" chosen. I want this done using AJAX as in the example. The end result would be a hybrid of the example in the link above that includes TWO modes for the CustomFilteringColumn. If Inserting/Updating, I want the RadComboBox to display. If just viewing, I simply want a basic bound field to show. 

I've spent the past day struggling. Does anyone have any pointers?

Hi Mike,

For this setup, you can use a standard filter template, and specify the visibility, based on the mode of the control - standard/insert/edit:

I hope that this is a feasible approach for you.

Kind regards,
