Dynamically change EditMode serverside

[Glenn]

Hi,

Is it possible to dynamically change a Radgrid's EditMode from "InPlace" to "PopUp" from a server side event?

I have a grid in which I want to do Inline editing for an Insert, but a custom web control for Edit.

I tried using the ItemCommand event and changing the grid's EditMode value (see example below), but it still opens in Inline mode.

 

 

protected void radGridPeople_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "PersonConditionGrid")
        {
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditSelectedCommandName)
            {
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.PopUp;
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.UserControlName = "PeopleMaint/PersonCondAction.ascx";
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        ErrorHandler.WriteErrorLog(GenFunctions.CurrentUserName, System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name, ex);
        generalCustomValidator.ErrorMessage = ex.Message + "<br/>" + ex.StackTrace;
        generalCustomValidator.IsValid = false;
    }
}

Hi Glenn,

Your approach is correct. Could you please try to modify your code-behind slightly?

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
    {
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.PopUp;
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.EditFormType = GridEditFormType.WebUserControl;
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.UserControlName = "WebUserControl.ascx";
    }
    else if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.InPlace;
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.EditFormType = GridEditFormType.AutoGenerated;
    }
}

That should do the trick. Please give it a try and let me know about the result.
