Hiding user edit control at start

[Kenneth Miller]

I have a grid component with a user edit ascx control assigned to it. The default behavior, apparently, is for that edit control to be visible when the grid is first loaded/displayed. I do not want it visible. How do I go about hiding it at startup?

 

Here is the ending section of my radgrid definition. Is there something I can do in here to hide that form?

                </Columns>
                <CommandItemSettings ShowAddNewRecordButton="false" />
                <EditFormSettings  UserControlName="DiscountEditor.ascx" EditFormType="WebUserControl" >
                    <EditColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn1">
                    </EditColumn>
                </EditFormSettings>
            </MasterTableView>
            <ClientSettings>
                <ClientEvents OnRowDblClick="RowDblClick" OnPopUpShowing="onPopUpShowing" />
            </ClientSettings>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

Hi Kenneth,

Actually the default behavior is the opposite one - the edit form is not displayed until the user presses the pencil icon/edit button.

Your scenario looks similar to the one shown by the Edit Form Types demo, where the edit form of the second grid row is made editable on page load via the following code:

DefaultCS.aspx.cs

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    if (!this.IsPostBack && this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count > 1)
    {
        this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[1].Edit = true;
        this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
    }
}

If you comment out the highlighted row the grid will be rendered as shown in this video: https://www.screencast.com/t/IFTBJHxEb.

Thank you. That does appear to have cleared it up. I had this in my PreRender call:

 

    Protected Sub RadGrid1_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.PreRender
        If Not IsPostBack And Me.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count > 1 Then
            'Me.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items(1).Edit = True
            Me.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind()
        End If
    End Sub

 

One further question: can you point me toward some example for controlling the position of the user control when it appears?

Hi,

You can control the position of the UserControl contents via CSS as you would do for every standard HTML element(s). Here is a short video demo: https://www.screencast.com/t/JCrpuRspqr.
