Hide control in insert mode

[Akhil Raj]

hi all,
   I am using editform to edit my data in radgridview. EditFormType is 'Autogenerated'. I have one problem in insert mode.
I have one status column in the grid. This is not a visible column and i need to show this column in edit mode only. In normal mode and insert mode i need not siplay this control. I specify the template column in grid view as follows

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Status" HeaderText="Status" Visible="false" >
    <EditItemTemplate>
         <asp:CheckBox ID="chk1" runat="server" />
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

In my databound event i try to set visibility of this column. checkbox will hide in the insert mode but the header text exists the same. how to handle that header text also. my code behind is

    Protected Sub Rad_grd1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles Rad_grd1.ItemDataBound

        If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditFormItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode) Then
            Dim edititem As GridEditFormItem = CType(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
            If edititem.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted Then
                edititem("Status").Visible = False
            Else
                edititem("Status").Visible = True
            End If
        End If

    End Sub

Only checkbox is hide. please help to handle that header text. If i didnt put header text in design mode, ':' is visible. how to handle this colon (:) in the editmode

Hello Akhil,

You can try the following code snippet to hide Template column in insert mode.

VB.Net:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs)

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditFormInsertItem AndAlso e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted Then

Dim insertitem As GridEditFormInsertItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditFormInsertItem)

insertitem("Status").Parent.Visible = False

End If

End Sub

Regards,
Shinu.

Hello Akhil,

Check out the following code snippet to use different CaptionFormatString for edit and insert mode.

VB.Net

 Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridCommandEventArgs)
        If e.CommandName = "InitInsert" Then
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = "Add new data"
        End If
        If e.CommandName = "Edit" Then
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = "Modify new data for {0}"
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionDataField = "EmployeeID"
        End If
  End Sub

Regards,
Shinu.
