[Solved] how to edit the properties of controls inside auto generated edit template

[saravanan k]

hi all,

i need to edit the textmode property of the auotgenerated popup edit mode. is it possible to do it from codebehind. if so which handler to place the logic for the same.

I tried with edittemplate <formtemplate> but it is getting reflected in insert popup too. i want both the templates to be different and with different set of controls.

kindly help me..

Hi Saravanan K,

Here is the code snippet that shows how to set the autogenerated TextBox's properties in editmode and insert mode.

C#:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            TextBox textBox = (TextBox)editItem["CompanyName"].Controls[0];
            textBox.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;  // Set for EditMode
        }
        if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted && e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem)
        {
            GridEditFormInsertItem item = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
            TextBox textBox = (TextBox)item["CompanyName"].Controls[0];
            textBox.TextMode = TextBoxMode.SingleLine;  // When in insert mode
        }
    }
