Button Link

[Trevor]

Hi, my first issue is that I have an update link being generated even though there is no specified update image or text. How can I get rid of this?

Also, in its place I would like to have a custom button that is just a linked image to a new page.

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server" EnableAJAX="true" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" ClientEvents-OnRequestStart="onRequestStart" >
        <telerik:RadGrid ID="gridUsers" DataSourceID="srcUsers" runat="server" AllowPaging="true" AllowSorting="true" AllowFilteringByColumn="true" PageSize="10" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
            <GroupingSettings CaseSensitive="false" />
            <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="true" />
            <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" AlwaysVisible="true" Visible="true" EnableSEOPaging="true"/>
            <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" AllowNaturalSort="false" DataKeyNames="distinguishedName">
                <CommandItemSettings RefreshImageUrl="~/images/refresh_button.gif" ShowExportToWordButton="false" ShowExportToExcelButton="false" ShowExportToCsvButton="true" ShowExportToPdfButton="false" ExportToWordText="" ExportToExcelText="" ExportToCsvtext="" ExportToPdfText="" ExportToWordImageUrl="~/images/export_to_doc.gif" ExportToExcelImageUrl="~/images/export_to_xls.gif" ExportToCsvImageUrl="~/images/export_to_csv.gif" ExportToPdfImageUrl="~/images/export_to_pdf.gif" />

                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn HeaderText="Edit"  DataNavigateUrlFormatString="EditUser.aspx?user={0}" DataNavigateUrlFields="objectGUID" UniqueName="link" ShowFilterIcon="false"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="First Name" UniqueName="givenName" DataField="givenName" FilterListOptions="VaryByDataType" FilterImageUrl="~/images/filter_icon.gif" />
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Last Name" ItemStyle-Width="100%" HeaderStyle-Width="100%" UniqueName="sn" DataField="sn" FilterListOptions="VaryByDataType" FilterImageUrl="~/images/filter_icon.gif" />

                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>
    </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

Help please!

Hello Trevor,

From the provided code I can see you have a GridHyperLinkColumn and I assume this is the problematic link buttons you are talking about. Try setting the Text property of the column to Edit for instance and see if makes any difference.

Let me know how it goes.

The hyper link column is fine. In my code behind I have an image in that column instead of text. What I want is to have a custom link update button. This would take the place of the update button at the top of my grid. As of right now, there is a default Update button and text which I can not get rid of. I would like to delete the default update and put in a custom update button that is a simple link to a page.

Thanks,
Trevor

Hello Trevor,

In order to achieve your goal, I would suggest that you define your own FormTemplate. Find more information on how to use FormTemplate edit form in the below articles:

Thanks for the suggestion but, I do not know how this would solve my problem. I do not want to insert a new record via form on the existing page but, I would like to have it on a different page all together. To achieve this, when I click the update button, it should simple take me to another page in which I will have my own form built. Therefore, all I want is a way to have an UPDATE LINK BUTTON.

Thanks for suggestions,
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

From the additional information provided, I assume that you should place the Update link button in the page where the custom edit form is loaded. However I am not sure if I properly understand what is the issue you have with the Update button. Can you elaborate a bit more?
