[Solved] CreateColumnEditor is fired for an Insert or an Edit?

[Fred]

Hi!

I'm trying to do something.

I need to have different inline editor base on the type of edition...

It can be an insert or an edit.

I want to be able to have different ColumnEditor defined in the event CreateColumnEditor of the RadGrid depending on if it's edit mode or insert mode.

The event gives object but I have no clue if it is an insert or an edit.

Is there a way to identify if the event was fired for an insert or an edit?

Thanks!

protected void RadGrid_OnCreateColumnEditor(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCreateColumnEditorEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Column is GridBoundColumn)
            {
                if ((e.Column as GridBoundColumn).DataField == "UserValue")
                {
                    e.ColumnEditor = new NumericColumnEditor("UserValue");
                }
                else if ((e.Column as GridBoundColumn).DataField == "UserId")
                {
                    e.ColumnEditor = new LabelColumnEditor("UserId");
                }
                else if ((e.Column as GridBoundColumn).DataField == "UserName")
                {
                    e.ColumnEditor = new LabelColumnEditor("UserName");
                }
            }
        }

Hi Fred,

To achieve the desired functionality you could try handling the RadGrid.ItemCommand and set a flag if the Edit command is fired or InitInsert command. Then into the RadGrid.CreateColumnEditor you could check this flag:

bool isEditColumnEditorCreated = false;
    void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
        {
            isEditColumnEditorCreated = true;
        }
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName)
        {
            isEditColumnEditorCreated = false;
        }
    }

    void RadGrid1_CreateColumnEditor(object sender, GridCreateColumnEditorEventArgs e)
    {
        if (isEditColumnEditorCreated)
        {
            //Edit
        }
        else
        {
            //Insert
        }
    }

Please give it try and let me know if you experience any problems.

Looking forward for your reply.
