[Solved] Auto Insert and leave new row in Edit mode?

[James B Furlong]

I automatically set radgrid into Insert mode using IsItemInserted = true on entering a page and then, using the ItemDataBound event, I populate GridDataItemInsert fields from Session. This works well however, when the grid is rendered it displays the fields as labels (not editable) together with the Insert and Cancel buttons. This is not the behaviour I desire, I need the row to be in Edit mode to allow the user to override the values and then select "Insert"

Additionally, I have used the InitInsertCommandName in the ItemCommand event which gives the required edit row behaviour but this requires the user to select a header "Add New item" button which I want to avoid.

How can I get the successfully added GridDataItemInsert to be displayed in Edit mode please?

Hello Brian,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

I suggest that you add

if ( !this.IsPostBack )
{
    for (int i = 0; i < this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count; i++)
             this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[i].Edit = true;
    this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
}

in your code to set all items in edit mode.

Sincerely yours,
