Default text in textbox

[Ryann]

Hi.
I have a grid which has edit and insert operation performed. During the insert mode for one of the column textbox i want to show a default text. How to do this when grid is in insert mode?

Hi Ryann,

Please try the following code snippet to have a value for a column in insert mode:

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
 {
   e.Canceled = true;
   e.Item.OwnerTableView.InsertItem();
   GridEditableItem insertedItem = e.Item.OwnerTableView.GetInsertItem();
   TextBox txt = (TextBox)insertedItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
   txt.Text = "YourText";
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy
