Hide 'Add New Record'

[Scott MacDonald]

this should be an easy one, but I haven't been able to find it in the documentation. I have a simple grid that is read-only where the user can click on a hyperlink column to view the record details. Since the user cannot add new records I want to not show the default 'Add new record' text and button that displays at the top of the grid.

thanks

Hi Scott!

In your RadGrid properties, search for MasterTableView property, expand it, and then look for the CommandItemDisplay property and set it to None.

Good Luck!

By the way, does anybody know how to hide ONLY the Refresh command/option?

Hello,

You can simply set the  CommandItemSettings -> ShowAddNewRecordButton property to hide the "Add New Record" button.

<MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
    <CommandItemSettings ShowAddNewRecordButton="false" />

Hi Sinu!

Is the ShowAddNewRecordButton property include in the last suite of Telerik RadControls?

Because we're useing the "RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2009 SP1" and I don't have that property, or at least I can't found it, nor in the Properties Window, nor in the aspx code.

If that's true, then I guess there should be a ShowRefreshButton property too, isn't it? :)


Thanks!

Hello Carlos,


The property "ShowAddNewRecordButton" is added in Q1 2010 version (2010.1.216). Since you are using the old version, you could use the following code snippet in order to hide the "Add New Record" button.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
    {
        e.Item.FindControl("InitInsertButton").Parent.Visible = false;
    }
}

Hi Shinu!

I used the code you provided, and it works perfectly!

But actually, I'm more interested in hide the Refresh button, and based on your example, I made a little change and it worked too!

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
    {
        e.Item.FindControl("RefreshButton").Parent.Visible = false;
    }
}

However, I'm still having a doubt about if there is a "ShowRefreshButton" property in Q1 2010 version (2010.1.216)?

I would greatly appreciate if you could resolve that doubt!


Thanks!
