It appears that CommandItems for a RadGrid can only be placed on the top or bottom of a grid. Is there a method for placing these buttons on the left/right side of the grid in a vertically stacked manner?
You can use the CommandItemDisplay property to set the CommandItem either on the Top,Bottom or TopAndBottom. If the Grid is position is static we can design the command itemtemplate in a table and apply absolute positioning to place it on right side of Grid. But this is not a good approach since there will be some browser combatibility issues and we need to make sure that all alignments are correct.
