[Solved] Customise insert record

[DGraham]

Hi,

I have a radGrid with an 'Add Record' button, when the add record button is clicked the editItemTemplate displays text boxes for all the columns in the grid, however I don't want the user to be able to insert all fields (some are dynamically set in the code behind), how can I customise the editItemTemplate? I have looked at your example: Grid/Update/Insert/Delete in Hierarchy (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/threelevel/defaultcs.aspx) but my radGrid is populate from the code behind, so how do I specify the 'InsertParapaters' for the editItemTemplate? Also is it possible to change the Insert/Cancel text to an image button?

Additionally, I have a 'detailTable' that also allows inserts, but I only want the user to select one value from a radComboBox (the rest of the data to be inserted is handled by the code behind) How do I populate this radComboBox from the code behind? When opening the detailTable is it possible to close the ‘Add New Record’ dialog box in the master table?

 

Your help regarding the above issues would be greatly appreciated.

 
Below is the radGrid Code:

Hi,

 

After doing a bit more searching I solved the above questions by reading ‘Insert/Update/Delete records -> Edit mode -> Custom edit forms in your documentation.

Hi Telerik Team,

Is there a printable version of the documentation for your controls in a PDF format? I know they are available on your website and as a help file (.chm) but I would like a hard copy.

I look forward to your reply...
