Datafield in update and insert

[Nizar]

Hello,

How can I make a datafield "edittable" on an insert call, but not on an update? I generate my table fine, and I use inline for editting mode. I display a name column, and a description column. When I click on update, I want only the description field to be edittable, but if I click on the add new record, I want both the name and description fields to be edittable. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks.

Hi,

u can set property in itemdataBound like...

<telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="ColumnUniqueName">

private void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.WebControls.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
{
 if(e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
 {
  //item is about to be inserted
   RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ColumnUniqueName").Visible = false;
   RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ColumnUniqueName2").ReadOnly= true;

 }
 else
 {
  //item is about to be edited
   RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ColumnUniqueName").Visible = true;
   RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ColumnUniqueName2").ReadOnly= false;

 }
}
}

Thanks,

Hi Jayesh,

Thanks for responding so promptly. However, I don't see, or don't have available, the "readOnly" attribute as in your code:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ColumnUniqueName2").ReadOnly= true;

I only see "visible" and "display". I also see there's a boolean "isEditable", but that basically just takes from the "readOnly" attribute in the <telerik:gridColumnBound> tag in the ASPX page. What you proposed in your code would be perfect, but I can't find the ".ReadOnly" portion.

Thanks.

Hi,

sorry it was my mistake readonly option was not available.
you can use  "Visible" or "IsEditable".

like..

grdTablesandViews.MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("ColumnUniqueName").Visible = false;

Hello Nizar,

In order to make column editable on InsertCommand and disable the column in Edit mode, access the TextBox using the ColumnUniqueName and set ReadOnly as false.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{

    if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

        {

           GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

        TextBox txtbox=(TextBox)item["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];

            txtbox.ReadOnly = false;

          }

}


Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Jayesh and Princy,

I appreciate your help on this, but this is what worked for me:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.Columns)
        {
            if (col.ColumnType == "GridBoundColumn" && col.UniqueName == "routingPlanID")
            {
                if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
                {
                    (col as GridBoundColumn).ReadOnly = true;
                    col.Visible = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    (col as GridBoundColumn).ReadOnly = false;
                    col.Visible = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

Again, thanks once more for your continued support. You guys are very helpful, and I've used many of your responses before with other users. Thanks!!!
