hide insert button on radgrid

[eric]

How do you programatically remove or hide the insert new record button on a radgrid?  I can't directly reference the control btnAddReconItem.

 

<

 

telerik:RadGrid ID="rgReconciliation" runat="server" Skin="Vista" AllowPaging="true"

 

 

 

 

 

AutoGenerateColumns="false">

 

 

 

 

 

<HeaderContextMenu Skin="Vista">

 

 

 

 

 

<CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200" />

 

 

 

 

 

</HeaderContextMenu>

 

 

 

 

 

<PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" NextPageText="&amp;gt;" PrevPageText="&amp;lt;" />

 

 

 

 

 

<MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top">

 

 

 

 

 

<CommandItemTemplate>

 

 

 

 

 

<table>

 

 

 

 

 

<tr>

 

 

 

 

 

<td width="30%">

 

 

 

 

 

<asp:LinkButton ID="btnAddReconItem" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" CausesValidation="false"

 

 

 

 

 

CommandName="InitInsert">Add Reconciliation Item</asp:LinkButton>

 

 

 

 

 

</td>

 

 

 

 

 

<td width="40%">

 

 

 

 

 

</td>

 

 

 

 

 

<td width="30%">

 

 

 

 

 

</td>

 

 

 

 

 

</tr>

 

 

 

 

 

</table>

 

 

 

 

 

</CommandItemTemplate>

 

 

 

 

 

<Columns>

 

 

 

 

 

</Columns>

 

 

 

 

 

</MasterTableView>

 

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadGrid>

Hi Eric,

You can hide the "Add New Record" button in CommandItem as shown below.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
    {
        Button addButton = e.Item.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton") as Button;
        addButton.Visible = false;
        LinkButton lnkButton = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("InitInsertButton");
        lnkButton.Visible = false;
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello Eric,

The previous suggestion is valid for autogenerated buttons.

You can access the controls in the CommandItemTemplate this way:

private void Page_PreRender(object source, EventArgs e)
{
        LinkButton lb = new LinkButton();
        foreach(GridItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.CommandItem))
            lb =  item.FindControl("btnAddReconItem") as LinkButton;
}

The last reply works as the solution unless there are no items in the grid.  How can you hide the button then?

This method also hides my edit and delete columns which i do not want to do.  ANy thoughts?

Hello Eric,

I suppose you are trying to hide the Add Reconciliation Item link button when there are items in the grid and display it when there are no items. If thats the case, you can make a slight change to the above given code:
c#:

 protected void Page_PreRender(object source, EventArgs e)
    {
        LinkButton lb = new LinkButton();
        if (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count != 0)
        {
            foreach (GridItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.CommandItem))
                lb = item.FindControl("btnAddReconItem") as LinkButton;
            lb.Visible = false;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

If you want hide Add New Record use:

<MasterTableView>

...

...

<CommandItemSettings AddNewRecordImageUrl="<..IMAGE w/ TRANSPARENCY..>" AddNewRecordText="" />

...

...

</MasterTableView>

<MasterTableView>
    <CommandItemSettings  ShowAddNewRecordButton="false"  />
</MasterTableView>

Thanks Hatim for your updated posting!

In case anyone wants to know how to do this programmatically:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.CommandItemSettings.ShowAddNewRecordButton = false;

And to expand Jon's note, if you're looking to do the same thing for child-grids:

If rg.MasterTableView.Items.Count > 0 Then
    rg.MasterTableView.Items(0).ChildItem.NestedTableViews(0).CommandItemSettings.ShowAddNewRecordButton = false
End If

Hi Guys,

Thank you for sharing your approaches with our community. Generally, you can also achieve this requirement using the following approach:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridCommandItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "OrderDetails")
    {
        GridCommandItem item = (GridCommandItem)e.Item;
        item.Visible = false;
    }
}

Alternatively, you can also traverse the table views:
