[Solved] hide and display in Edit mode in RadGrid

[Esperanza Ramos]

Hi, All:

I have a question.  Under normal mode, I need to hide a column; but in Edit mode, I have to display the column for editing.  Please help.

here is a portion of RadGrid:

<rad:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Billed" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbBilled" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Billed", "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblBilled" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Billed", "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</rad:GridTemplateColumn>

I believe you want to drop the

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblBilled" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Billed", "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

from your code block.

Hi,

I have tried to remove <ItemTemplate> section, it did not work as expected.
Because its header is still displaying.

<

rad:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Billed">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbBilled" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Billed", "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblBilled" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Billed", "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</rad:GridTemplateColumn>

In normail mode, I want to hide the entire column "Billed";  In Edit mode,
I want to display this column for editing.

Please help.

Hi,

However, setting:<rad:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Billed" display="false">

how to display this column in Edit mode.

I want to display this column in edit mode.  But in normal mode, hide this column.

thanks.

Hi Stanley,

Did you figure this out? I'm 'bumping' for you as I see there isn't an answer on the bottom and I'm out of ideas. I actually use web controls to accomplish what you're looking for and only messed around with the templates for a few minutes before jumping into controls.

Hope you find your solution!

Hi Stanley,

Try setting the Visible  property of the TemplateColumn to false to hide the Column in the Normal mode and display it in the Edit mode.

ASPX:

<rad:GridTemplateColumn  Visible="false"  >

Thanks
Shinu.
