Auto-postback RadGrid on change

[Roger McCoy]

Is there a way to get a RadGrid to postback updates when a combo box inside the grid is changed -- preferably without leaving edit mode in the process?

Hello Roger,

It's possible - attached is a sample containing guidelines how to achieve this scenario.

If I rebind the RadGrid in the ItemSelected function it seems that it doesn't save the changes; it only refreshes the page. Do I need to call an additional function?

Hi Roger,

Could you show how you perform the update and rebind the grid. Is it possible that you paste the whole mark-up and code-behind for the page containing the grid (please, use the code-formatter tool of the ticket editor to make the code-snippets readable).

Hi,
Is there a way i can do the following: -
I am in the grid's add/edit mode. Based on the value selected in one of the Radcomboboxes in the grid, I need to show/hide or enable/disable another set of controls inside the grid.
Is this possible?
can you please show me how

Hello Mark,

You can achieve this in 'OnSelectedIndexChanged' event of RadComboBox. In this event handler access the GridEditFormItem using NamingContainer property of RadComboBox. Then based on the selected value of RadCombobox disable the control. Sample code is given below.

ASPX:

<Columns>
   <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmployeeID" HeaderText="EmployeeID" UniqueName="EmployeeID">
   </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
   <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
     <EditItemTemplate>
      <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server"
       DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="FirstName" DataValueField="FirstName"
       AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged">
      </telerik:RadComboBox>
     </EditItemTemplate>
   </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
</Columns>

C#:

protected void RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
   {
       RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)o;
       GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)combo.NamingContainer; //if the grid is in edit mode
       TextBox txt = (TextBox)editItem["EmployeeID"].Controls[0];
       if (combo.SelectedValue == "David")
         txt.Enabled = false;
    }

Thanks,
Princy.
