[Solved] CaptionFormatString="Edit Item : {0}"

[Shane P]

Hi everyone,
I am hoping for some help on something I am sure isn't a major.

I am taking advantage of the CaptionFormatString on a edit/insert form I am using. It works as it should when editing and when adding a form no text is displayed. When I insert a record (I keep the form open) the Caption is then displayed as Edit Item : {0}

Can I change this to be blank or a more friendly type of message?

Thank you

Shane

Hi Shane ,

I guess you are trying to remove the CaptionFormatString when the Grid is in Insert mode. If so try the following code snippet.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = string.Empty;
        }
        else
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = "CustomText";
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Princy, setting the PopUp caption in the ItemDataBound event does not work. I want to set the PopUp caption to "New Record" when it is opened for inserting, but it stays blank.

I guess the event is too late, so I tried using the ItemCommand event and that does work ok, but only when I have not set the CaptionFormatString declaratively:

    Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridCommandEventArgs)
        If e.CommandName = "InitInsert" Then
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = "New Record"
        End If
        If e.CommandName = "Edit" Then
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = "Edit Record"
        End If
    End Sub

I really wish there was a separate caption for Insert and Edit, for example InsertCaptionFormatString, and EditCaptionFormatString

Princy,

You code snippet only works when you allow only one record to be modified at a time. If you allow editing and inserting at the same time (2 edit dialogs open) you overwrite the caption with the text of the last opened.

P.S. Steves solution does also overwrite the caption of the first opened.
In my opinion you should be able to point directly to the opened Dialog and set the caption. Please tell me if this is possible!

Thanks,
Ron
