[Solved] Hierarchical grid - new demo

[Josh]

Hello support,

Is it possible to add a tabstrip into the edit forms of the parent and / or children using the hierarchical grid entry found in the demo here?  For that matter, is it possible to create an edit form at all in the hierarchical grid entry grid?

If so, could you explain how to do so to some degree.   

Thanks for your anticipated help.

Hi Josh,

This is possible by using the EditFormSettings.FormTemplate template property of the parent and detail table view. Your mark-up should look like the following:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" AllowPaging="true" runat="server" DataSourceID=".................">
    <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="........." DataSourceID="..............">
        <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
            <FormTemplate>
                <%--RadTabStrip and any other controls needed for the edit form of the MasterTableView
                go here.--%>
            </FormTemplate>
        </EditFormSettings>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn .........>
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn .........>
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    .
                    .
                    .
                </Columns>
        <DetailTables>
            <telerik:GridTableView DataSourceID=".............." DataKeyNames="..........." AutoGenerateColumns="false">
                <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
                    <FormTemplate>
                       <%-- RadTabStrip and any other controls needed for the edit form of the MasterTableView
                        go here.--%>
                    </FormTemplate>
                </EditFormSettings>
                <ParentTableRelation>
                    <telerik:GridRelationFields DetailKeyField=".............." MasterKeyField="............." />
                </ParentTableRelation>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn .........>
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn .........>
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    .
                    .
                    .
                </Columns>
            </telerik:GridTableView>
        </DetailTables>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

I hope this helps.
