Hide Filter on CommandITem (add record)

[Brandon]

Hello!

Is it possible to hide the filter row in my grid when a user clicks "Add new record"?

Also, my Grid stays in Edit mode when I click "Add new record". How do I go about canceling the edit before the Insert form is opened?

I've searched and can't find these answers, thanks for your time in advance!

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for contacting us and for your question.

With the official release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, you can hide the filter row in RadGrid easily client-side:

http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/prometheus/Grid/Examples/GeneralFeatures/Filtering/DefaultCS.aspx

As to the canceling the edit item, that can be achieved through the following code snippet:

 private void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object  source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
 RadGrid grid = (source as RadGrid);
 if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
 {
    if (grid.EditItems.Count > 0)
   {
     grid.MasterTableView.ClearEditItems();
   }
 }
}

You can find more info on the topic in the docs here.

I figured there'd be an easy answer for both of these questions. However, I'm having troubles figuring out how to call a client jscript function from my codebehind?


VB code for the solution to my closing problem below. I'm hoping I can put something in the If statements that call those client side functions?  ::

        Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCommand
            Dim grid As RadGrid = source

            If e.CommandName = RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName Then
                If grid.EditItems.Count > 0 Then

                    grid.MasterTableView.ClearEditItems()
                End If
            End If
            If (e.CommandName = RadGrid.EditCommandName) Then
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted = False
            End If
        End Sub

You guys are fantastic, love the product, thanks for the help :)
