disable GridButtonColum on per-row basis?

[matt]

hello,

im on an older version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX ("2009.2 826") but i think the answer to my question should be pretty straight-forward.

i have a RadGrid that lists items on a page. these rows include the use of a GridButtonColumn of type Delete, like so:

<Telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="Delete" ButtonType="LinkButton" Text="Delete" UniqueName="deleteColumn" />

... my question -- how can i disable the visibility of this column on a per-row basis, dependent on the value of another column in the grid's DataSource? some rows are something i want the user to be able to delete, some rows are not. the rows that cannot be deleted should still allow the user to edit the row via the GridEditCommandColumn we're also using.


thanks!
matt

Hello Matt,

You can try the following code snippet to achieve your requirement.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string s1 = item["EmployeeID"].Text;
            LinkButton deleteBtn = (LinkButton)item["deleteColumn"].Controls[0];
            if (s1 == "1")//Checking for condition
            {
                deleteBtn.Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }

Thanks,
Shinu.
