[Solved] How Do I Set Entire Grid In Edit Mode Immediately?

[Forest]

I'd like the grid to be in edit mode from the get-go (all of it).

It's also a 2-level deep hierarchy - so I want the Details Table to be in edit mode as well - always.

Thanks in adavance.

Hi Forest,

Here is a help article which explains how to set the entire Grid in edit mode. Give a try with logic in the help article and see if helps.
Put all items in edit mode without additional rebind

Here is the code to set the Detail table rows in edit mode.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)

{

//access the Deatil table using the Name property

if (item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail")

{

item.Edit = true;

}

item.OwnerTableView.Rebind();

}    }

Note: Set the name property for the detail table.
