Hello,

I would like to disable the AddNewRecord button or possibly hide it from there and leave only the Refresh button.

This method/property is not available from the CommandItemSettings!



Thanks

Hello,

You can try out the following code to hide the AddNewRecord button from the comand item:
cs:
 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
    { 
 
        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem) 
        { 
            GridCommandItem cmdItem = (GridCommandItem)e.Item; 
            //To hide the add new record button 
            Button btn1 = (Button)cmdItem.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton"); 
            btn1.Visible = false
            //To hide the image button 
            LinkButton lnkbtn1 = (LinkButton)cmdItem.FindControl("InitInsertButton"); 
            lnkbtn1.Visible = false
        } 
  } 

Thanks
Princy.

Well i converted this code to VB.NET and i ended with the following code:
If e.Item.GetType Is GetType(GridCommandItem) Then 
            Dim cmdItem As GridCommandItem = CType(e.Item, GridCommandItem) 
            'To hide the link button   
            Dim btn1 As Button = CType(cmdItem.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton"), Button) 
            btn1.Visible = False 
            'To hide the image button   
            Dim lnkbtn1 As LinkButton = CType(cmdItem.FindControl("InitInsertButton"), LinkButton) 
            lnkbtn1.Visible = False 
        End If 




But, unfortunately i am getting an exception:

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Line 103: Dim btn1 As New Button
Line 104: btn1 = CType(cmdItem.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton"), Button)
Line 105: btn1.Visible = False
Line 106: 'To hide the image button Line
107: Dim lnkbtn1 As New LinkButton



So please tell me how do i fix this code
Thanks in advance

This portion works just fine:

'To hide the image button   
 Dim lnkbtn1 As LinkButton = CType(cmdItem.FindControl("InitInsertButton"), LinkButton) 
 lnkbtn1.Visible = False 

but the other one doesn't work. I suspect the cmdItem.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton") .. AddNewRecordButton seems right spelled but doesn't return any result with search.

Thanks

Hi El,

Give a try with the following code snippet and see if it is working.

CS:
 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem) 
        { 
            GridCommandItem cmdItem = (GridCommandItem)e.Item; 
            Button btn1 = (Button)cmdItem.Controls[0].Controls[0].Controls[0].Controls[0].Controls[0]; 
            btn1.Visible = false
             
        }  
    } 

Thanks
Shinu.

It throws an exception:

Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridLinkButton' to type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button'

Then i declared btn1 as GridLinkButton but the intellisense underlined it alerting me that it's not accessible because it is friend. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Try accessing it as a LinkButton as shown below.

VB:
Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As GridItemEventArgs) 
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridCommandItem Then 
        Dim cmdItem As GridCommandItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridCommandItem) 
        Dim lnkbtn As LinkButton = DirectCast(cmdItem.Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0), LinkButton) 
        lnkbtn.Visible = False 
         
    End If 
End Sub

Don't you think that these both do the same .. hiding the LinkButton ?

          
Dim lnkbtn1 As LinkButton = DirectCast(cmdItem.FindControl("InitInsertButton"), LinkButton) 
lnkbtn1.Visible = False 
 
Dim btn1 As LinkButton = CType(cmdItem.Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0), LinkButton) 
btn1.Visible = False 

I mean what is the difference. However, the find Control did the trick .. i don't see the AddNewRecord button anymore.

Thanks
