[Syed]

Hi,

On the web page RadGrid is able to perform insert,delete and  Add a new records. I am able to view insert,edit and add a new record button links.
 
Sometimes i am able to show these button links for some users and sometimes i want to hide these button link from the grid.

Please tell me how to hide these button links.

Thanks.

Hi Syed,

Try out the following code snippet for hiding CommandItem and EditColumn based on condition.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(test) //Condition
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.None;
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
        foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
        {
            if (col.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedEditColumn")  // If it is AutoGenerated, otherwise check with the column unique name
            {
                col.Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

A have a similar case - Admins are allowed to edit / insert in the MasterTable - other roles not.
I do it like this:

            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="MEditColumn" ButtonType="ImageButton" ItemStyle-Width="25px" HeaderStyle-Width="25px" Visible="false" />
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ContentID" DataType="System.Int32" HeaderText="ID"

Notice the UniqueName on the GridEditCommandColumn!
In code behind I allow the things - if the user is an admin (rgContent is the ID of my grid):

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if (Roles.IsUserInRole("Admins")) {
        rgContent.MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("MEditColumn").Visible = true;
        rgContent.MasterTableView.AllowAutomaticUpdates = true;
        rgContent.MasterTableView.AllowAutomaticInserts = true;
        rgContent.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.Top;
    }
}
