How to hide controls in edit form template on edit, and show them on insert?

[Aaron]

Is it possible to hide controls in edit form template when a user selects edit, and then show the same controls when the user hits add new record?

Hi Aaron,

You can try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

ASPX:

 <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template" >
                 <FormTemplate>
                   <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="NewRecord"></asp:Label>
                     <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                 </FormTemplate>
            </EditFormSettings>

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

//to hide the label in edit from

if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode)&&(!e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted))

{

GridEditFormItem edititem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

Label lbl = (Label)edititem.FindControl("Label1");

lbl.Visible = false;

}

//to show the label in insert form

else if ((e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem) && (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)&&(!e.Item.IsInEditMode))

{

GridEditFormInsertItem insertitem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;

Label lbl = (Label)insertitem.FindControl("Label1");

lbl.Visible = true;

}

}
