Hide Add New Record Button

[Ed]

I am using version 2012.2.912.40 of the ASP.Net product. I want to conditionally hide the Add New Record button. The condition is based on the row count. I am currently using the grid DataBound event to do this. It works whenever I insert or delete a row, but not on the initial load of the grid. The event is firing and the code to hide the button is executed, but it does not happen. Is there some action that is occurring later in the life cycle during the initial load that would cause the default setting to be used?

Hi,

Try the following code to hide the button conditionally.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int count = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count;
    if (count == 10)
    {
        foreach (GridCommandItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.CommandItem))
        {
            Button btn = (Button)item.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton");
            LinkButton Addbtn = (LinkButton)item.FindControl("InitInsertButton");
            btn.Visible = false;
            Addbtn.Visible = false;
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Shinu,

Thaniks for the reply.
I am not trying to hide buttons on the rows but rather the Add New Record button above the grid.
The code that I am using is:

this

 

 

.CalendarIntervalsGrid.MasterTableView.CommandItemSettings.ShowAddNewRecordButton = this.CalendarIntervalsGrid.MasterTableView.Items.Count < 4;

 

This works fine when I add or delete rows, just not when the page initially loads.

Hi,

Try hiding the button in Prerender event as shown below.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int count = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count;
    if (count == 10)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.CommandItemSettings.ShowAddNewRecordButton = false;
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Shinu,

I had tried it on the PreRender, but forgot to include the ReBind().
Thanks.
