Hello,

I am trying to implement a solution similar to the one shown in this demo:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/clienteditbatchupdates/defaultcs.aspx

In my scenario, the columns are variable. (I am implementing a form to enter index fund monthly returns, and the index funds will grow over time. So each row represents a month ending date and each column represents an index fund. The cell intersection represents the rate of return for an index fund for a period.) I have successfully implemented the edit capability as provided in the example, with modifications due to the fact that the columns defined dynamically. 

Now I need to address the insert issue. Specifically, when the "Add a new row" button is clicked, I need to change the styles of the controls in each cell of the insert row such that the label does not display and the edit controls (all are textboxes) display. I have not yet figured out how to accomplish this. I can trap the ItemCommand "InitInsert" in the code-behind, but what to do then? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

Hello Steve,

The following code shows how to hide Label control placed in EditItemTemplate of GridTemplateColumn, when clicking the "Add New Record" button. Please make neccessary changes to meet your requirement.

C#:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
      if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
       {
           GridEditFormInsertItem insertItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
           Label lb = (Label)insertItem.FindControl("Label1"); //access the Label inside EditItemTemplate using its id
           lb.Visible = false;//hide the label
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.

Actually, I found a way to do this, but it differes. I'll try your approach however. Here are the pertinent code elements:

protected void RadGridIndexReturns_CreateColumnEditor(object sender, GridCreateColumnEditorEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Column is GridTemplateColumn)
    {
        GridTemplateColumn templateColumn = (GridTemplateColumn) e.Column;
        if (templateColumn.ItemTemplate is DateTimeItemTemplate)
        {
            DateTimeItemTemplate dt = (DateTimeItemTemplate) templateColumn.ItemTemplate;
            dt.InEditMode = true;
        }
        else if (templateColumn.ItemTemplate is PercentItemTemplate)
        {
            PercentItemTemplate pt = (PercentItemTemplate) templateColumn.ItemTemplate;
            pt.InEditMode = true;
        }
    }
}
public class DateTimeItemTemplate : ITemplate
{
    private Panel panel0;
    private TextBox textValue;
    private Label labelValue;
    public string ColumnName { get; set; }
    public string HeaderName { get; set; }
    public DateTimeItemTemplate(string headername, string columnname)
    {
        ColumnName = columnname;
        HeaderName = headername;
    }
    public bool InEditMode
    {
        set
        {
            switch (value)
            {
                case true:
                    textValue.Style.Add("display", "inline");
                    break;
                case false:
                    textValue.Style.Remove("display");
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        ((GridTableCell)container).Wrap = false;
        panel0 = new Panel();
        //panel0.CssClass = "IndexFundReturnAsOfDate";
        textValue = new TextBox {ID = "tb_" + ColumnName};
        textValue.DataBinding += textValue_DataBinding;
        textValue.Enabled = true;
        //textValue.Attributes.Add("OnKeyDown", "return TextBoxChanged(this);");
        labelValue = new Label { ID = "lbl_" + ColumnName };
        labelValue.DataBinding += lblValue_DataBinding;
        panel0.Controls.Add(textValue);
        panel0.Controls.Add(labelValue);
