Filling EditItemTemplate...

[Milan Gurung]

Hi,

Can someone please help me to figure out to fill the form fields when the user clicks on edit button.  The grid is bound to the datasource as follows:

<Columns>

                   <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="InvoiceDetailID">

                   </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

                   <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="ItemDescription" HeaderText="Description" UniqueName="Description">

                        <ItemTemplate>

                            <asp:Label ID="lblDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ItemDescription") %>'>' </asp:Label>

                        </ItemTemplate>

                        <EditItemTemplate>

                            <asp:TextBox TextMode ="MultiLine" ID="txtDescription" runat="server" Height="80px" Width="200px"></asp:TextBox>

                        </EditItemTemplate>

                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

                </Columns>

How do I fill txtDescription  with existing value when user clicks on Edit? I was assuming it will be field automatically but that's not the case.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Milan,

Depending on your requirements you can use one of the following suggestions:

<EditItemTemplate>
    <asp:TextBox TextMode ="MultiLine" ID="txtDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ItemDescription") %>' Height="80px" Width="200px"></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>

or

protected void radGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        (e.Item.FindControl("txtDescription") as TextBox).Text = "myText";
}

Let us know if you need more information.
