Hide/Display column in edit mode..

[Milan Gurung]

Hi,

Is there anyway that the column can displayed only during the edit mode? In the following code "Budget_Business" column is invisible intially - I would like it to display during the edit mode so that the user will know what was original value before making changes using dropdown list.

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="gridException" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt" Skin="Web20" BorderWidth="0px" CellPadding="0" GridLines="None" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="50" AllowCustomPaging="True">

        <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" EditMode="InPlace" Width="100%" DataKeyNames="BudgetExceptionID">

        <Columns>

            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Budget_Business" UniqueName="ReadOnlyBudget_Business" ReadOnly="true" Visible="false"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>

            <telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataSourceID="SrcForBusiness" ListTextField="BusinessName" ListValueField="BusinessName" DataField="Budget_Business" HeaderText="Business" UniqueName="Budget_Business" DropDownControlType="DropDownList"></telerik:GridDropDownColumn>    

        </Columns>

        </MasterTableView>

    </telerik:RadGrid>

Thanks.

Hello Milan Gurung,

Try the following code snippet for showing the column only when in EditMode.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.Columns)
    {
        if (col.ColumnType == "GridBoundColumn" && col.UniqueName == "ReadOnlyBudget_Business")
        {
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
            {
                col.Visible = true;
            }
            else
            {
                col.Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
