CommandItemTemplate and mixed mode

[Francis]

Hi,

in my application, I made a custom Grid control who inherit from RadGrid.

I want every grid to have the ExportToExcel command. But I also want, in some grid, add another "custom" command.

So I create a class who implement the ITemplate interface in my custom grid control, I use this template. It works good.

But now, in some grid, I want to add a custom DropDoxnList in the Grid Command Item Display area. So I add a <CommandItemTemplate> tag in my aspx. But as I can see, this tag is override by my template.

Is it possible to mix programatic and declarative mode ?


Thanks !

Hi Francis,

I am afraid what you are trying to achieve is not possible. You should add it in your custom command item.

Hi,

finally, I found a sort of solution :

In my custom grid control, I add a property CustomControl :

public Control CustomControl { get; set; }

 

In my page, I dynamically create a div with my DropDownList inside (no need to paste the code here). And I set the CustomControl property with this div.

In my custom grid control, in the OnInit event, I set the MasterTableView.CommandItemTemplate property :

this.MasterTableView.CommandItemTemplate = new CompiledTemplateBuilder(new BuildTemplateMethod(BuildCommandItemTemplate));

And in the BuildCommandItemTemplate delegate method, I add the ExportToExcel command and, if the property is not null, the CustomControl.

And It works !

The control created in the page (in my case, a DropDownList) can have events who are catched in the page.
