Data grid multiple row edit

[Reeja]

I have a datagrid . In two colums of it, I have a  label in ItemTemplate Tag, and a dropdownlist in EditItemTemplate tag. Editing is enabled in the grid.

Is it possible for me to check different rows of the grid at a time and open all the checked rows in edit mode at the same time?

Now what I do is to store the row index of all checked rows in an array and loop through that array to get the edit index for the grid, but it doesnt work.

Can someone help me with this?

Hi Reeja,

Try using a GridTemplateColumn with a CheckBox in its ItemTemplate and try the following code snippet in the PreRender event to put the checked rows in edit mode.

ASPX:

                  <Columns>

                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="ProductName" HeaderText="ProductName" DataField="ProductName" >
                     <ItemTemplate>
                         <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
                     </ItemTemplate>
                     <EditItemTemplate>
                         <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
                         </asp:DropDownList>
                     </EditItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn></telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TempCol" HeaderText="TempCol" >
                     <ItemTemplate>
                         <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" />
                     </ItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                </Columns>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
            CheckBox chkbx = (CheckBox)item["TempCol"].FindControl("CheckBox1");
            if (chkbx.Checked)
            {

                item.Edit = true;
            }
        }
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
   }

Thanks
Shinu.
