Disable Edit after Insert

[Philip]

Can someone let me know if this is possible and how I would do it.

In my grid, I have a column that I want to show a combobox for on Insert so that the user can select on item, but I don't want them to be able to change that value if they edit the row. I have InLine editing turned on.

Is there something I can put in the edit template to display a label if it's in Edit mode, but a ComboBox if it's in Insert mode?

Thanks.

Hi Philip,

You can do this using Enabled property. Here is an example:

Enabled=<%#  (Container as GridItem).OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted %>

I'm pretty sure I have this coded correctly, but I keep getting an error:

<telerik:RadComboBox Width="145" MarkFirstMatch="true" Skin="scSkin" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" DataTextField="adv_nm" DataValueField="adv_id" DataSourceID="AdvDataSource" ID="dd_adv_id" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("adv_id") %>' Enabled='<%# (Container as GridItem).OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted ? "true" : "false" %>' />

Error: Compiler Error Message: BC30198: ')' expected.

If I take out the Enabled parameter, it works fine. Am I missing something here? Is there some hidden paren that I can't see?

Hi Robert ,

You should pass boolean type to Enabled not strings.
