hide space in edit row

[Alice Julia]

When i edit a row, i don't want a edit form or an inline edit. Instead i have some controls on the top of my page which will be populated when i click edit in radgrid. My problem is even if i can achieve this, still updat/cancel options were showing below the selected row. I made that invisible by following some code. Update & Cancel buttons are made invisible. But how to avoid the space below the selected row?

Hello Alice,

One suggestion for not showing the EditForm is cancelling the default edit command and loading the edited data in the external form. For cancelling the Edit command, you can use the following code.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)

{

e.Canceled = true; //cancel default edit command

e.Item.Selected = true;

DisplayEditForm(e.Item as GridDataItem); // for loading the edited data in the external form

}

}

Also, you can find demonstration on how to perform edit/update/delete/insert operations in RadGrid using an external form in the demo.
