Edit/Insert Templates different how to implement?

[Luis Silva]

At the moment I am setting the visibilty of controls on the itemdatabound event handler after detecting if row is in insert/edit mode.

if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
{
     (e.Item.FindControl("txtUserName") as WebControl).Enabled = false;
}

This seems quite cumbersome to me, is there a better way to do it?

Thanks

Luis

Hello Luis,

Showing different forms for edit and insert is easily achievable by using different WebUserControl custom edit form for your grid. You can hook the ItemCommand event of the grid and switch the user control when e.CommandName is RadGrid.EditCommand or RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName.

The following documentation describes more on how to accomplish this.

Hi Princy,

Thanks for the quick reply, that seems also quite convoluted, say I only have one field that i dont need...i need to create two nearly identical forms...

A good feature would be to allow an InsertTemplate element like the asp:Gridview.
