Hiding a column in edit mode

[deepika]

Hi

I want to display a column while adding a new record and normal display (ie.. in grid) but want to hide just in edit mode. Please let me know how can i achieve that both while using template columns and grid bound columns. Please respond to me ASAP.



Thanks,
Deepika

Hello Deepika,

In order to hide the column in edit mode you should set its ReadOnly property to true. For further insight about the ReadOnly/Display/Visible properties of grid columns review this topic from the documentation:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-using-columns.html (paragraph Visibility and rendering of columns)

All the best,

I've set ReadOnly="true", but the item is still showing-up in edit mode - it displays as the following in edit mode: 

Current Hourly Rate:Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject

Seems ReadOnly doesn't hide it... 

I may need to do something in code: http://www.telerik.com/forums/hide-display-column-in-edit-mode

Hi Peter,

I guess you are using InPlace edit mode for editing your Grid. When a column is ReadOnly in this edit mode it will be shown in edit but disabled for edit. If you want to Hide it, you can try the following code snippet.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
  {
     GridEditableItem edit = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
     edit["ColumnUniqueName"].Visible = false;
  }
}
