[Solved] how to update the edit pop windows

[ori]

Hi to all,

i am using the mvc grid and when i click on edit i get a pop up page.
i would like to update this pop up page.

the grid shows all the fields in the object, i would like to select which fields to update and update the text in the page.

Can some one advice me how to do it?

Thank you

Ori

Hello Ori,


To create a custom popup editing window for the Grid, you need to add an Editor Template with the same name as your model under the Shared/EditorTemplates folder. For sample project take a look at this Code Library article.

Hi Petur,

it works great, Thank you.

1.
If i would like to attache custom view to specific view, can we tell the grid which user control to use under an action(create,edit) ?

example: Create new will have different text then the update view.

2. how can i show the calendar on datetime fields in the custom control ?

3. I am working on validation, in case of invalid data i would like to go back to the grid in edit mode, and let the user see the validation message. how can i do that ?

 
Thank you

Ori

Hello Ori,

1. Basically the editor used for insert and edit operations is the same. If you want you can create a custom editor popup using the approach with template column which opens a window to display a custom edit view. Check the attached file for implementation.
2. If you included the editor templates (which are added automatically when using the wizard to create new MVC project using the Telerik extensions) under the Shared/EditorTemplates folder when using a HTML helper to create editor fields (i.e. @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Date) ) the DateTimePicker should be used when rendering the View.
3. To enable validation when using forms loaded via Ajax please take a look at this Code Library article.

All the best,
