Don't show GridTemplateColumn when no ItemTemplate is present

[Pavel]

I need to have a property show up when an item is being edited, but I don't have an ItemTemplate for it. The reason for it, is because I am using GroupByExpressions to show the values of those records. In order to get those properties to show up in Edit mode, here's what I did:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Report Period" UniqueName="ReportPeriodName" Visible="False" Display="False">
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlReportPeriod" AppendDataBoundItems="True">
            <asp:ListItem Text="-- Select Reporting Period --" Value="" />
        </asp:DropDownList>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

But, I can still see that it's rendering a column (but an empty one). What would be a better approach?

Hello Pavel,

The behavior that you are describing is rather unexpected. Could you please elaborate which version of the controls you are using, so we can test it with the exact version.

Additionally, you could provide the markup and the code-behind of your grid, so we can get a better idea of your exact scenario.

I am looking forward to your reply.
