[Solved] Hiding control in CommandItemDisplay

[Stephan]

I have the following RaGrid, which displays the CommanItems "Add New Record" and "Refresh" in the Grid at TopAndBottom:
 

 

<MasterTableView Width="98%" ShowFooter="True" CommandItemDisplay="TopAndBottom">
<CommandItemTemplate>
    <asp:LinkButton ID="btnAddNewRecord" runat="server" CommandName="AddNewRecord" Style="vertical-align: bottom">
        <asp:Image ID="imgAdd" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/App_ThemesCustom/images/AddRecord.gif" />
        &nbsp;&nbsp;Add  New Record
    </asp:LinkButton> &nbsp;&nbsp;
    <asp:LinkButton ID="btnRefresh" runat="server" CommandName="Refresh" Style="vertical-align: bottom">
        <asp:Image ID="imgRefresh" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/App_ThemesCustom/images/Refresh.gif" /> &nbsp;Refresh
    </asp:LinkButton>
</CommandItemTemplate>

Under specific curcimstances I'd like to hide the "Add New Record" LinkButton and tried to do that on DataBound:
 

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Item is GridCommandItem)
    {
        if (!UserHasEditAccess())
        {
            this.ParentPage.FindControlRecursive(this, "btnAddNewRecord").Visible = false;
        }
    }
}

 

This code works to a degree. It hides the "Add New Record" button in the "Top" of the grid, but it is still visible on the "Bottom" of the grid.

 

 

Any idea why it's not making it invisible in both the "Top" and the "Bottom"?

Hi Stephen,

Try with the following approach and see whether it hides the add new record button properly.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!UserHasEditAccess())
        {
            if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
            {
                GridCommandItem cmdItem = (GridCommandItem)e.Item;
                LinkButton linkBtn = (LinkButton)cmdItem.FindControl("btnAddNewRecord");
                linkBtn.Visible = false;
            }
        }
   }

Thanks

Hi Princy,

That did it.

Thanks.
