Edit mode for Child Grids

[Murray]

I was able to force my main grid into edit mode by using the pre-render event as discussed in the documentation.  I would like to force only my child grid into edit mode, how do I do that?

Hi Murray,

Set the Name property for the Detail table and try the following code snippet to set the Detail table in edit mode.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)
        {
            if (item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail")
            {
                item.Edit = true;
            }

        }
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }

Thanks
Shinu.

Thanks Shinu:

I forgot to mention to you that my project is in VB.  The logic of your code seems to limit the edit mode to just the named child table, is this correct?  My code currently only sets the master table in edit mode.  Will your code work in this circumstance?

Hi Murray,

Yes the above given code sets all the items of detail table in edit mode. Here is the equivalent code in VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    For Each item As GridDataItem In RadGrid1.Items
        If item.OwnerTableView.Name = "Detail" Then
            item.Edit = True

        End If
    Next
    RadGrid1.Rebind()
End Sub

Note: You have to set the Name property for the child table.

<DetailTables>
      <telerik:GridTableView runat="server" Name="Detail"  >

Thanks
Shinu.

Hello Shinu:

When I put your code in my project, I cannot expand the grid.  If I encapsulate your code in a If Not IsPostBack structure, then I can expand the grid, but cannot force the detail tables into edit mode.

Any ideas?

Hi Murray,

Give a try with the following code snippet and see if it helps.

VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

    For Each item As GridDataItem In RadGrid1.Items
        Dim indx As Integer = item.ItemIndex
        If item.Expanded Then
            Dim gridTableView As GridTableView = (TryCast(RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items(indx), GridDataItem)).ChildItem.NestedTableViews(0)
            For Each childitem As GridDataItem In gridTableView.Items


                childitem.Edit = True
            Next
            gridTableView.Rebind()


        End If
    Next
End Sub

Thanks
