[Solved] Different EditModes for Insert & Update?

[Rob]

I have a RadGrid with EditMode="InPlace" working just fine, but have a requirement that for Updates "InPlace" mode is needed and for Inserts "Popup" mode is needed.  On top of that, I need to use EditFormType="Template" for Popup mode only, because we don't want to see the Insert & Cancel links.  So I need to be able to toggle back and forth between these 2 modes and only 1 of the modes uses a template.  How can I best accomplish this?

Thanks,
Rob

Hello Dudeman,

Check out the following code to achieve the required:
c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.InPlace;
        }
        if(e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.PopUp;
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.EditFormType = GridEditFormType.Template;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

That does the trick.  Thanks!

This doesn't handle the case where an edit window and an insert window are both open at the same time.

Hello Dylan,

For handling those cases, all opened for editing items should be closed by setting the Edit property to false. 

An example of the above and the switching between the edit modes, plus clearing all items that are currently in edit mode, is available in this thread.
