Hide CommandItem during edit mode

[Helen]

Hi,

I want to hide 2 command buttons when the user is in edit mode.  I've tried doing it in PreRender, ItemCreated without success.  Would you please help~

Thanks,

Helen

This is my CommandItemTemplate

<CommandItemTemplate>
  <div style="padding: 5px 5px;">
    <table>
    <tr>
        <td width="8%" >
            <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" CommandName="InitInsert"
                Visible='<%# !gdvBuilding.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted %>'>
                <img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="../../images/add.png" />Add new
            </asp:LinkButton>
        </td>
        <td width="20%" align="left" >
            <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" OnClick="LinkButton1_Click" Visible="false"
                runat="server" CommandName="UpdateSelected">
                <img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="../../images/disk_save.png" />Synchorize Info to SOS
            </asp:LinkButton>
        </td>
        <td width="72%"></td>
        <td width="10%">
            <asp:LinkButton ID="btnRefresh" Text="Refresh" OnClick="btnRefresh_Click" runat="server" >
                <img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="../../images/table_refresh.png" />Refresh
            </asp:LinkButton>
        </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
</div>
</CommandItemTemplate>

Hi Helen,

Please try the following code snippet  to access the CommandItemTemplate in edit mode.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
  {
   GridItem cmdItem = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.CommandItem)[0];
   LinkButton lnkbtn = cmdItem.FindControl("LinkButton1") as LinkButton;
   lnkbtn.Visible = false;
  }
}

Thanks,
Princy

It's working now, thank you so much. I also put your code in the PreRender event and works, too.  Is it better to put the code in ItemDataBound vs PreRender?

Thanks,

Helen

Princy, please ignore my previous post. It's not working in PreRender. I forgot to remove ItemDataBound event (duh!) which was what really made it work.  Thank you for your help~
