EditItemTemplate for RadGrid ?

[RadTony]

Hi Experts,

         For the framework components like <asp:gridview> there exists <EditItemTemplate> ... How can I get that with Telerik ?

What I try to do is to avoid "blinking " the grid when I click on Edit button ... So, I want to define a fixed width for the cells (wether they are in edit mode or normal mode).

    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox Width="200px" runat="server" ID="aaa"></asp:TextBox>
            </ItemTemplate>
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox Width="200px" runat="server" ID="aaa"></asp:TextBox>
            </EditItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

        How can I do this with RadGrid ? This is indeed a simple question for you people ... 

        When I edit, I would like to limit the height of the cells. What I'm doing actually is :

    protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            TextBox tbLastName = (e.Item as GridDataItem)["LastName"].Controls[0] as TextBox;
            tbLastName.Height = Unit.Pixel(12);
            //tbLastName.Width = Unit.Pixel(10);
            tbLastName.Style["Font-size"] = "11px";
            tbLastName.Style["padding-top"] = "1px";

            TextBox tbFirstName = (e.Item as GridDataItem)["FirstName"].Controls[0] as TextBox;
            tbFirstName.Height = Unit.Pixel(12);
            tbFirstName.Style["Font-size"] = "11px";
            tbFirstName.Style["padding-top"] = "1px";

            TextBox tbTitle = (e.Item as GridDataItem)["Title"].Controls[0] as TextBox;
            tbTitle.Height = Unit.Pixel(12);
            tbTitle.Style["Font-size"] = "11px";
            tbTitle.Style["padding-top"] = "1px";
        }
    }

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You can make use of the GridTemplateColumn of the grid for the desired template feature.You can refer to the demo link below for a detailed explanation on the same.

Hope this helps.Do let me know if there are any more queries.

Hi,

You can hide the controls in edit mode as shown below.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
             if(condition)
            RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)item.FindControl("RadComboBox1");
            combo.Visible = false;
        }
}

Thanks,
Shinu
