    Hi,

    I have a RadGrid which is populated by a datasource and the columns are not autgenerated. The data returned in the RadGrid is retrieved using a parameter @Name (this corresponds to the customer name selected in a combobox) and shows corresponding quotes for this customer, So I am selecting only one customer to show multiple quotes in the resulting grid. this all works fine :) The problem is when I want to go into edit mode in order to add a new quote under this customer. I can't find a way to autofill editform fields with Default data such as AccountNumber (since the customer has been chosen we now know the account number and shouldn't need to enter this).

    Is there any way to implement this easily if possible :)

    Kind Regards
    Ben

    Hello,

    Inplace edit mode

    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" UniqueName="ID">
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        
                        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                        </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    </Columns>
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
            {
     
                if (e.Item.IsInEditMode && e.Item is GridEditableItem)
                {
                    GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
                    (item["ID"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text = "Your Text"; // bound column
                    (item.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox).Text = "Your Text"; // template column
                }
    }

    if you used editmode="editforms" then used GridEditFormItem in place of GridEditableItem.

    Thanks,

                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="RadDatePicker" SelectedDate='<%# System.DateTime.Today %>'>

    Thanks!

    what about defaulting a value of a drop down list?

    so when grid is in edit/view mode the value of the drop down list is selected and drop down is disabled.

    And Is there a feature of  hiding a specific row from a radgrid?

     

    Thank You,

    Hello Saleh,

    You can use the same approach by simply set Enable="False" for the DropDown list in the edit item template and set specific selected item for it.
    Hiding specific row form the RadGrid table is not possible int he current implementation of the control.

    Hello,

    If the column is not a GridTemplateColumn, you can specify a default value using the column's DefaultInsertValue property, like this:

    <
    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DefaultInsertValue="12/21/2012" DataType="System.DateTime" DataField="Column1" UniqueName="Column1"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>

    Otherwise, if it is a GridTemplateColumn, take a look at the following Telerik article :

    Inserting Values Using InPlace and EditForms Modes
