Default edit mode for grid items on initial load

[Francisco]

Greetings,

I've been trying to something similar as described in this url (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grddefaulteditmodeforgriditemsoninitialload.html) but with a different approach.

I've got a Radgrid with an EditForm, which besides textboxes and other controls, has another Radgrid that needs to be in edit mode on load.

The problem is that I can't directly make reference to this lattest Radgrid because of being inside an edit form.

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" EditMode="EditForms">
 <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
  <FormTemplate>
   <table>
    <tr>
     <td>
      <telerik:RadGrid runat="server">
       <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" EditMode="InPlace">
        <Columns>
         <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Company"/>
         <telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn UniqueName="View" HeaderText="View" DataField="View"/>
         <telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn UniqueName="Edit" HeaderText="Edit" DataField="Edit"/>
        </Columns>
       </MasterTableView>
       <ClientSettings Selecting-AllowRowSelect="true"/>
      </telerik:RadGrid>
     </td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </FormTemplate>
 </EditFormSettings>
</telerik:RadGrid>

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Francisco

Hello Francisco,

You can try the code for 'default edit mode for grid items' in PreRender event of grid inside FormTemplate like below.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server">

  <MasterTableView EditMode="EditForms">

    <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">

      <FormTemplate>

        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" runat="server"                   
              OnPreRender="RadGrid2_PreRender" AllowMultiRowEdit="true">

                 . . . . . .

        </telerik:RadGrid>

      </FormTemplate>

     </EditFormSettings>

   </MasterTableView>

</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGrid2_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
     RadGrid RadGrid2 = (RadGrid)sender;
       {
           foreach (GridItem item in RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Items)
           {
               if (item is GridEditableItem)
               {
                   GridEditableItem editableItem = item as GridDataItem;
                   editableItem.Edit = true;
               }
           }
           RadGrid2.Rebind();
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.
