Disable Add New when Editing

[Jonathan Hamilton]

I'd like to disable the Add New Command Button when the user clicks on the Edit icon for an existing record in the Grid.  Please also note that I am using RadAjaxLoadingPanel to update/insert/add records.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Hello Jonathan,

The required scenario can be obtained as shown in the code below.
cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)

{

foreach (GridCommandItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.CommandItem))

{

Button btn1 = (Button)item.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton");

btn1.Enabled = false;

// To disable the LinkButton

LinkButton lnkbtn1 = (LinkButton)item.FindControl("InitInsertButton");

lnkbtn1.Enabled = false;

}

}

Princy.

Princy, thanks for this, it works but only on the Add New link in the top command bar - how would that be adapted to disable the link in the bottom command bar as well?

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

One another suggestion will be set the Display of the CommandItem to None in edit mode.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            RadGrid2.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.None;
        }
   }

Thanks
Shinu.
