I already read and tried the help article.I'm using GridTemplateColumn. It dosen't have a "read only" property.I need to set visible or enable to false on edit mode.
I tried to access the control from the grid; but it gives null value.

GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;

RadComboBox RadBox = (RadComboBox)edititem.FindControl("cmbCompanyName");

and i have to do it in  ItemCommand.

thanks!

Hi Jo,

Try with the following approach to Enable the ComboBox only in Insert mode.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn   UniqueName="TemplateCol" HeaderText="TemplateCol"  >
      <EditItemTemplate>
         <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox2" runat="server" Enabled="false" >
          </telerik:RadComboBox>
      </EditItemTemplate>
 </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem) && (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted))
        {
            GridEditFormInsertItem insertitm = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
            RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)insertitm["TemplateCol"].FindControl("RadComboBox2");
            combo.Enabled = true;
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.
