can radgrid have more than 1 GridEditCommandColumn?

[blue]

Hi,

Can radgrit have more than 1 GridEditCommandColumn?

I already have 1 GridEditCommandColumn where I would display a sub section when clicked. But I need another GridEditCommandColumn because I have to have another sub section to display.

So for my radGrid, the GridEditCommandColumn A will show section A, and GridEditCommandColumn B will show section B.

However, I get an error when I put two GridEditCommandColumn. Is there a work around for this?


Please see attached pic for the example scenario.

Hello John,

The RadGrid does not support adding multiple GridEditCommandColumns. To achieve the desired functionality concerning having two buttons which fires edit command you could try using two GridButtonColumns with CommandName = "Edit":

<Columns>
  <telerik:GridButtonColumn UniqueName="Add" CommandName="Edit" ButtonType="PushButton" Text="Add">
  </telerik:GridButtonColumn>
  <telerik:GridButtonColumn UniqueName="AddEmployee" CommandName="Edit" ButtonType="PushButton" Text="Add Employee">
  </telerik:GridButtonColumn>
</Columns>

or you could try changing the ID of the GridEditCommandColumn's link button:

void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
       GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
       (item["GridEditCommandColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0] as LinkButton).ID = "LinkButton1";
    }
}

Please give it try and let me know if you experience any problems.
