CommandItemTemplate display after postback

[Eric Skaggs]

I have a page with a grid and that grid uses the commanditemtemplate.  When the page first loads, it's in a "New" mode that I use in my code to hide the commanditemtemplate.  Essentially, the page loads and since the mode is "New," runs this code in the PreRender method of RadGrid1:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.None;

That part works fine.  However, I have a Save button above the grid (not part of the grid) that, when clicked, sets the mode to "Edit" and causes a page postback.  Now that the mode is "Edit," the PreRender method of RadGrid1 runs this code:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.Bottom;

This is the part that's not working.  After the first page postback, a blue "footer" appears at the bottom of the grid that says "Ready," but I get no commanditemtemplate.  My CommandItemTemplate only contains a Button control aligned on the right side of the grid.  Interestingly enough, if I click the Save button again to cause a second page postback, I do get my commanditemtemplate along with the blue "footer" that says "Ready."

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Eric Skaggs

Hello Eric,

Try rebinding the grid in the after hiding or displaying the CommandItemTemplate as shown below:

cs:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.Bottom;
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

Thanks
Princy.

That did it, thank you.  I forgot that a change to the grid structure requires a call to rebind for that change to take effect.
