How to hide/display a GridTemplateColumn ?

[Stephane]

Hello,

I have a RadGrid control with a GridTemplateColumn. I need to hide an "Action" TemplateColumn in Edit mode and to display that colum in normal mode. I defined the following ItemDatabound event to hide the "Action" TemplateColumn:

protected void oRgRoulement_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
           // Hide the Action TemplateColumn in edit mode
            if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
                   (oRgRoulement.MasterTableView.GetColumn("Action") as GridTemplateColumn).Visible = false;
        }

What should I do to display the action TemplateColumn when the user will leave the edit mode ? In other words, how to determine if a row is already in edit mode ?

Thanks,

Steven

Hello,


A better approach is setting the visibility in PreRender event as shown below.

Code:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Count > 0)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("templateColumnUniqueName").Visible = false;
    }
    else
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("templateColumnUniqueName").Visible = true;
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

If I just have the need to hide/show a GridTemplateColumn based on the user's authentication in an Active Directory group can I do that in ItemDataBound or do I need to do it in PreRender? The reason I ask is that I need to execute the code to determine if the user is in the AD group to allow them to see the column. 

thanks!
