editselectedcommandname: Disable dropdowncolumn control

[Brindavan]

Hi,

When I select a grid row and click on edit, the 'editselectedcommandname' command gets fired.
I have to perform some operations in ItemCommand method of grid based on this commandName.

When user clicks on edit, the row is opened in edit mode. One of this edit item is a dropdown.
i have to disable the dropdown.

Any pointers in this regard will help.

Hello Brindavan,

You can check if the row is in editmode in the ItemDataBound event and then access and disable the dropdowncontrol:
cs:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            ((DropDownList)editItem.FindControl("DropDownListID")).Enabled = false;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Hi Princy,

Thanks for the reply.
I am looking to do this in ItemCommand event when command name is Radgrid.editselectedcommandname
I tried the above method but since the source is the command button, I am not able to caste it as GridEditableItem

Thanks Princy.
I got the implementation with slight change in the code that you mentioned.

I used ((DropDownList)editItem["ColumnName"].Controls[0]).Enabled = false;

Thanks again!
