Expand GridTableView and put in insert mode

[Pether Wiklander]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a column in my grid with two buttons; expand/collapse and insert. The expand/collapse button should expand/collapse the child GridTableView (this is working as planned). The insert buttton should expand the child GridTableView (if not expanded) and set the child GridTableView in insert mode. I've been struggling with this for a while now but I can't seem to find any solution for it. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Best regards,
Pether

Hi Pether,

Give a try with the following approach and see whether it helps.

ASPX:

 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TempCol2" HeaderText="TemplateCol" >
                       <ItemTemplate>
                           <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server"  CommandName="Expand" >Expand</asp:LinkButton>
                           <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" CommandName="Expand/Insert" >Expand/Insert</asp:LinkButton>
                       </ItemTemplate>

                     </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        if (e.CommandName == "Expand")
            item.Expanded = !item.Expanded;


        else if (e.CommandName == "Expand/Insert")
        {
            if (!item.Expanded)
                item.Expanded = true;

            GridTableView childTable = (GridTableView)item.ChildItem.NestedTableViews[0];
            childTable.IsItemInserted = true;
            childTable.Rebind();

        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
