GridExpandColumn or GridEditCommandColumn

[Roy Halvorsen]

How can I make a GridEditCommandColumn work as a GridExpandColumn?

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" EditImageUrl="../Grafikk/RadGrid/SinglePlus.gif" EditText="Edit" CancelImageUrl="../Grafikk/RadGrid/SingleMinus.gif" CancelText="Cancel" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" />

First I want the PLUS gif to become a MINUS gif when clicked and my EditFormTemplate opens, and when I click on MINUS, a cancel command is fired.

Hi Roy,

I would suggest you to use a GridTemplateColumn instead of using a GridEditCommandColumn to achieve the desired scenario. Here is a sample code which worked on my end.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="EditTemp" HeaderText="EditCol" >
                     <ItemTemplate>
                         <asp:ImageButton ID="imgBtnEdit" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Image/SinglePlus.gif" CommandName="EditItem"  />
                     </ItemTemplate>
                   </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        //to set the Grid in edit mode
        if (e.CommandName == "EditItem")
        {
            e.Item.Edit = !e.Item.Edit;
        }
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
    }
    protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
            //to toggle the ImageURL
           ImageButton editBtn = (ImageButton)item.FindControl("imgBtnEdit");
           if (item.Edit)
               editBtn.ImageUrl = "~/Image/SingleMinus.gif";
           else
               editBtn.ImageUrl = "~/Image/SinglePlus.gif";

        }
    }

Thanks a lot :-) It works!

Seems like I was a bit quick to shout hooray, Shinu. Now the radgrid is not updated until i open one of the newly edited items. Also functionality that I run in RadGrid_UpdateCommand is not firing, such as showing an invisible panel if some conditions are true.
