Hello,

You can hide and show panels in insert/edit mode.

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
                   <FormTemplate>
                       <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Visible="false">
                       insert mode
                           <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />
                           <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                           <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                       </asp:Panel>
                       <asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server" Visible="false">
                       edit mode
                           <asp:Label ID="Label1" Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
                       </asp:Panel>
                   </FormTemplate>
               </EditFormSettings>

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode && !e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
            //if the item is about to edit
            {
                GridEditFormItem editItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
                Panel Panel1 = (Panel)editItem.FindControl("Panel1");
                Panel Panel2 = (Panel)editItem.FindControl("Panel2");
                Panel2.Visible = true;
            }
            if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
            //if the item is about to insert
            {
                GridEditFormItem editItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
                Panel Panel1 = (Panel)editItem.FindControl("Panel1");
                Panel Panel2 = (Panel)editItem.FindControl("Panel2");
                Panel1.Visible = true;
            }
}

As per my knowledge with radgrid your second option is not possible.

Let me know if any concern.

Hi Jayesh,

I will try your solution, but logically your idea will work for me.

For Telerik Dev. Team.
Is second option is possible? The Point is that while creating new record we want to accept many fields, so here we want 'form' style
of input, but while editing there is only one field that could be changed, and we wanted that if we could do editing inline itself for this.

Hello,

You can achieve this thing but one condition is there.You are not able to Insert and Edit Items at same time.

Please check my below code and let me know if any concern.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ClearEditItems();
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.EditForms;
        }
        else if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = false;
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.InPlace;
        }
    }
