Grid Add/Update field display...

[Dennis]

How can I change the fields that display for an Add/Update? For an add I need to have 4 fields display and for an edit I need to only display 2. I tried creating a template usercontrol but it is showing up for both an add/update. I tried modifying the viewmodel and that is applying the changes to both the add/update also.

Grid:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)

        .Name("CodeManager")

    .Columns(columns =>

    {       

        columns.Bound(p => p.CodeID);

        columns.Bound(p => p.Status);

        columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); }).Width(200);

     

    })

    .ToolBar(toolBar => toolBar.Create())

    .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp)) 

    .Sortable()

    .Scrollable()

    .Groupable()

    .Pageable()

    .Filterable()

    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource   

        .Ajax()

        .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))

        .ServerOperation(false)

            .Model(model =>

            {

                model.Id(p => p.CodeID);

                model.Field(p => p.CodeID).Editable(false);

                model.Field(p => p.Title).Editable(false);

            })

                 //.Read(read => read.Action("GetPersons", "CodeManager", new { classifications = @ViewBag.SelectedCatgory }))

                    .Update(update => update.Action("EditingCustom_Update", "CodeManager"))

                        .Create(update => update.Action("EditingCustom_Update", "CodeManager"))     

        )

            .Editable(ed => ed.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).TemplateName("_CodeEditor"))    

        )

Control:

public ActionResult Index(string classifications = "")

        {

            ViewData["Category"] = classifications;

            ViewData["Classifications"] = new SelectList(Classifications.List, "ClassificationText", "ClassificationText", classifications);

            var codModels = new List<CodeModel>();

            ViewBag.SelectedCatgory = classifications ?? "Type";

 

            if (Request.HttpMethod == "POST")

            {

                var model = _codeRepository.Search(classifications).ToModel();

                return View(model);

            }

 

            return View(codModels);

        }

Model:

blic class CodeModel

    {

        public string CodeID { get; set; }

 

        public string Title { get; set; }

 

        public string Status { get; set; }

 

        public bool Active { get; set; }

 

        public string Category { get; set; }

 

        public int UserID { get; set; }

 

    }

Thanks

Hi Dennis,

I am afraid the described functionality is not supported in Kendo UI Grid - both of the actions ( Add and Update) are treated as an edit operations and it is not possible to set different templates for them.

Hi Dennis,

I've been using Kendo few months and today I just had the same problem that you. I use the javascript library, not the ASP, but I'm sure that is equivalent.

For do that you want, you must use the template for the window popup.

editable:{

    mode:"popup",

    template: kendo.template($("#templateCrearUsuario").html())

}

If you need an example, you can see it:

I try to make a "patch" for edit event and it works. I hope that for you too.

edit: function(e){                                             

            if(e.model.idUsuario==null)

                $(".noEditableCampos").show()
            else

                $(".noEditableCampos").hide();

           }

I put the fields that I dont want to show when "Add" event in a div class ("noEditableCampos") and I detect if the id of the Model is filled, if it exists, is a Edit event, otherwise is Add event.

I hope it will be helpful for your case.
