Hide RadGrid Header Label When Inserting

[VaRon]

Hello,

     I am hoping that someone can help with a requirement I'm trying to accomplish.  What I am trying to accomplish is when a new record is added I am wanting to hide the label and entry textbox based on the value of a dropdown.  I have been able to successfully hide the textbox but I can't find a way to hide the label.  From browsing the net and reading other forums I used the EditFormHeaderTextFormat property to set to empty and it does hide the label, but the issue now is setting the value in the code behind in the selectedindexchanged event back to a value.  I have included sample code for what I have below.  If anyone knows an alternate solution that would work please let me know.

Aspx

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn EditFormHeaderTextFormat="" DataField="CHIPReasonOther" DataType="System.String" FilterControlAltText="Filter Reason column" HeaderText="Define Other" SortExpression="ReasonOther" UniqueName="CHIPReasonOther">
                        <EditItemTemplate>
                            <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtCHIPReasonOther" runat="server" Width="275px" MaxLength="50" Visible="false"></telerik:RadTextBox>
                            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rqdReasonOther" ControlToValidate="txtCHIPReasonOther" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Required" CssClass="validation" Enabled="false" Display="Dynamic"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                        </EditItemTemplate>
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label ID="lblCHIPReasonOther" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("CHIPReasonOther") %>' Enabled="True" Visible="true" />
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Code behind

protected void rcbTempOOH_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            RadComboBox rcbSender = (RadComboBox)o;
            GridEditFormItem item = rcbSender.NamingContainer as GridEditFormItem;
            RadTextBox txtCHIPReasonOther = item.FindControl("txtCHIPReasonOther") as RadTextBox;
            RequiredFieldValidator rqdReasonOther = item.FindControl("rqdReasonOther") as RequiredFieldValidator;
            var selectedItem = e.Text;
            selectedItem = Regex.Replace(selectedItem, @"\s+", "");
            txtCHIPReasonOther.Text = string.Empty;

            if (selectedItem == "Other")
            {
                txtCHIPReasonOther.Visible = true;
                rqdReasonOther.Enabled = true;
            }
            else
            {
                txtCHIPReasonOther.Visible = false;
                rqdReasonOther.Enabled = false;
            }
        }

Thank you for the link I have used this link and it doesn't work in my case, upon rebinding all selected values have been reset, and using the same logic setting values back does not have any affect.  If I use the logic without rebinding it does not display the header either.

Hello VaRon,

To hide the entire CHIPReasonOther edit row from appearing, you can try to hide the container of the txtCHIPReasonOther control: txtCHIPReasonOther.Parent or txtCHIPReasonOther.Parent.Parent.Visible=false;

That should do the trick. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
