HIde items in EditForm

[Eric Klein]

I have a rad grid and when the user select edit or insert it opens the EditForm using a Template.  Depending on who the user is there are two items that I would like to either show or hide.  Here is a sample of the code.

  <rad:RadGrid ID="gridClients" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1" EnableAJAX="True" EnableAJAXLoadingTemplate="True" GridLines="None" LoadingTemplateTransparency="50" ShowStatusBar="True" Skin="Windows" Width="98%" AllowFilteringByColumn="True" PageSize="25" DataBound="gridClients_ItemDataBound" OnUpdateCommand="gridClients_UpdateCommand" OnInsertCommand="gridClients_InsertCommand" OnDeleteCommand="gridClients_DeleteCommand">
...
<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template" UserControlName="ClientGrid" >
  <EditColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn"></EditColumn>
  <FormTemplate>
     <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
       <tr id="SpecialInstructRow" runat="server" visible="false">
         <td>
            <label for="SpecialInstuct">Billing Notes:</label>
            <asp:TextBox ID="SpecialInstructTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("SpecialInstructions")  %>' TextMode="MultiLine" ></asp:TextBox>
          </td>
       </tr>

...
</table>

As you can see I have the table row visible set to false.  How can I change this when the user hits the edit or insert button on the grid, based on the user who is loged in?

Hello Eric,

Give a try with the following code snippet .

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem editItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
            if ()// your condition
                ((System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell)((editItem.EditFormCell as GridEditFormItem.EditFormTableCell))).Controls[0].Visible = false;
            else
                ((System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell)((editItem.EditFormCell as GridEditFormItem.EditFormTableCell))).Controls[0].Visible = true;
        }
    }

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks that is it.  I was looking for an onediting or oninserting event, but this works great.  Even better if you use the .FindControl do you can seacrh be name.
