GridNumericColumnEditor and edit

[lnu]

Hello,

I've got an RadGrid with inline edit mode. I put a GridNumericColumnEditor in the markup and associated it with a column(ColumnEditorID attribute) .
The first time I click "edit", the editor is applied to the column. If I click "cancel" and then click "edit" again, everything goes well.
But, if I try to "edit" a row while already have one in edit mode, the editor is not applied. If I put a watch on it, it's empty.

I put on the same page a "GridDateTimeColumnEditor" and everything works with this one.

here's my code

<telerik:GridNumericColumnEditor ID="quantityColumnEditor" runat="server">
        <NumericTextBox runat="server" ID="xxx" Width="50px" ShowSpinButtons="true" MaxValue="999"
            MinValue="1">
            <IncrementSettings Step="1" />
        </NumericTextBox>
    </telerik:GridNumericColumnEditor>
    <telerik:GridDateTimeColumnEditor ID="deliveryDateColumnEditor" runat="server">
        <TextBoxStyle Width="92px" />
    </telerik:GridDateTimeColumnEditor>

 <telerik:GridNumericColumn ColumnEditorID="quantityColumnEditor" FilterControlWidth="50px"
                    ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" HeaderText="QUANTITY" DataType="System.Int32"
                    DataField="QUANTITY" UniqueName="quantity">
                    <HeaderStyle Width="80px" Wrap="false" CssClass="rgHeader xxFCcol6" />
</telerik:GridNumericColumn>
 <telerik:GridDateTimeColumn ColumnEditorID="deliveryDateColumnEditor" HeaderText="DATE OF REQUEST"
                    DataField="REQUESTDATE" DataType="System.Datetime" EmptyDataText="n/a" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true"
                    UniqueName="requestdate" DataFormatString="{0:d}">
                    <HeaderStyle Width="100px" CssClass="rgHeader xxFCcol3" />
</telerik:GridDateTimeColumn>

Any Idea?

Hi,

I have the same problem now with allowmultipleedit: the gridnumericcolumneditor is only applied to the first edited row and not the others.

best regards,

Laurent

Hello lnu,

Currently the GridNumericColumnEditor does not support more than one items into edit / insert mode. As a workaround you can use RadGrid with modal Popup edit forms. The first RadGrid in this online demo demonstrates this approach. For more information about Popup edit forms please check:

Popup Edit Form

Another option to ensure that only one item could be in edit / insert mode at a time is to hide the relevant buttons of the other items. Here is one possible approach to achieve that:

bool isEdit;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        isEdit = false;
    }

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand1(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
        {
            e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted = false;
            isEdit = true;
        }
    }
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (isEdit || RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
                if (item["AutoGeneratedEditColumn"] != null)
                {
                    item["AutoGeneratedEditColumn"].Controls[0].Visible = e.Item.IsInEditMode;
                }

                if (item["MyGridEditCommandColumnUniqueName"] != null)
                {
                    item["MyGridEditCommandColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0].Visible = e.Item.IsInEditMode;
                }
            }
            if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
            {
                GridCommandItem commandItem = e.Item as GridCommandItem;
                Control commandItemPane = commandItem.Controls[0];
                if (commandItemPane != null)
                {
                    commandItemPane.Visible = false;
                }
            }
        }
    }

I hope this helps.

I just spend the day fighting the GridNumericColumnEditor changing size on the second click.  I saw this post and changed it to a GridTextBoxColumnEditor and it works fine, but now my format strings do not work for the numbers when they are in edit mode.  Is the GridNumericColumnEditor going to get fixed?

[Martin]

Hello Russell,

Unfortunately the GridNumericColumnEditor does not support more than one items into edit / insert mode. This is a limitation of the control and my suggestion is to use one of the workarounds provided in my previous post.

Thank you for your understanding and please excuse us for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,

There is not more than one row in edit mode.  The first time you put a row in edit mode it works fine.  Then when you put a second row into edit mode causing the first one to no longer be in edit mode that is when the problem occurs.  This has to be an error because the GridTextBoxColumnEditor works just fine.

Hello Russell,

Please note that although you see only 1 item in edit mode this does not mean that only 1 item is in edit mode on the server all the time. The limitation of the numeric editor happens when there is an item in edit mode and a second one is forced to be edited before the previous one is set to view mode. This is exactly what happens when you click the edit link of another item- it puts the new item into edit mode and just after that closes any other edited items.

The workaround you can currently use is to ensure that you close any edited items before a new item is put into edit mode. Here are the options to achieve that:

• Close edited items using their Update / Insert / Cancel buttons.
• Use RadGrid with modal Popup edit forms.
• Ensure that only one item could be in edit / insert mode at a time by hiding the relevant buttons of the other items.

For more information about the last two options, please review my second post in this forum thread.

I hope this helps,
Martin
