[Solved] EditForm - textareas rather than textboxes

[blue]

Hi. I'm using a RadGrid in a relatively default form, with AutoGenerateColumns="false" and EditMode="PopUp". The Edit form works great straight-out of the box, with the small exception of a textbox that I would like to make a textarea (multi-row textbox). Is there anyway to do this without going down the custom editform template route? Thanks, Chris

Hello,

You can access the textbox control in editform from code behind and set the TextMode to MultiLine.

C#:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            TextBox textBox = (TextBox)editItem["columnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            textBox.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
        }
    }

Fantastic - thanks for your help. I guess that was pretty obvious really, I guess that "I couldn't see the wood for the trees!"
