[Solved] CommandItemTemplate Question - Detail Tables

[Reid]

How can I access the Edit State of a Detail Table?  The code below can set the state of the CommandItemTemplate's LinkButton based on the EditIndexes.Count like below:

<td style="width: 80px">
  <asp:LinkButton ID="btnUpdateCommandSponsor" runat="server" CommandArgument="Update"
     CommandName="Update" ToolTip="Update Sponsor Record" Visible="<%# grdSponsoredLinkSponsor.EditIndexes.Count > 0 %>"><img alt=""
       src="images/icons/edit.png" style="border: 0px" /> Update</asp:LinkButton>
</td>

How can you get the EditIndexes count or state of the embedded or nested Detail Table?

Hello Reid,

Please examine the following snippet:

 <CommandItemTemplate>
     <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1" OnPreRender="Button1_PreRender" />
 </CommandItemTemplate>

protected void Button1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    bool enabled = true;
    foreach (GridDataItem item in ((GridCommandItem)((Control)sender).NamingContainer).OwnerTableView.Items)
    {
        if (item.Edit)
        {
            enabled = false;
            break;
        }
    }
    ((Button)sender).Enabled = enabled;
}

Thank you for the code.  I think that it would be handled a bit cleaner if the GridTableView objects had their own edit index count property.  And we could use something like :

<td style="width: 80px">
  <asp:LinkButton ID="btnUpdateCommandSponsor" runat="server" CommandArgument="Update"
     CommandName="Update" ToolTip="Update Sponsor Record" Visible="<%# grdSponsoredLinkSponsor.MasterTableView.DetailsTables[0].EditIndexes.Count > 0 %>"><img alt=""
       src="images/icons/edit.png" style="border: 0px" /> Update</asp:LinkButton>
</td>

or

<td style="width: 80px">
  <asp:LinkButton ID="btnUpdateCommandSponsor" runat="server" CommandArgument="Update"
     CommandName="Update" ToolTip="Update Sponsor Record" Visible="<%# grdSponsoredLinkSponsor.getDetailTableEditIndexCount("MyGridViewName") > 0 %>"><img alt=""
       src="images/icons/edit.png" style="border: 0px" /> Update</asp:LinkButton>
</td>

Thanks
