How to use both InPlace and PopUp edit mode in same grid?

[Vijaianand]

Is it possible to have both edit modes from the grid working together? Here is the scenario. I have Radgrid which is opened in inplace editor with limited columns with edit button at the end. If user clicks the edit button, it should popup the edit form with more columns.

I have 2 radgrids currently doing these things separately in separate pages and I am trying to merge this functionality for users to have one page to edit. I am having trouble doing it. Any work around would be much appreciated? I was thinking of doing radwindow but then I cannot use RadGrid inbuilt insert/edit functionalities.

Hi Vijaianand,

Have you tried achieving this using the EditForms as the edit mode? You could then specify the layout you desire in the FormTemplate. I'd recommend taking a look at the following demo: Edit Form Types - Form Template

You could have a hidden panel or div containing the additional fields, and if the user clicks on a link, the additional fields are displayed.

I hope this helps!

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
               <FormTemplate>
                  <asp:Panel ID="pnlMain" runat="server">
                       <table width="100%"

                       </table>
                   </asp:Panel>
                   <asp:Panel ID="pnlAdditional" runat="server" Visible="false">
                       <table>

                       </table>
                    </asp:Panel>
               </FormTemplate>
           </EditFormSettings>

I know that option already but I don't take pain in wiring lot of code to show the popup for edit form. I wanted to use the inbuilt edit form functionality from Radgrid. THanks though.

Hello Vijaianand,

Unfortunately the required functionality could not be achieved with the inbuilt RadGrid editing mechanism.Currently the provided approach is the only possibility to mix the edit modes in the same RadGrid control.

Hi Ganapathy,

The functionality you need to achieve is actually not supported by the RadGrid control out of the box. It would not be possible to have two different edit forms with different items in them. Possible option in your case would be to simply use two ButtonColumn with different command names and in the RadGrid ItemCommand event change the edit mode based on the command name of the columns.

In case you need to have one mode for the insert form and the another for the update form you could use the following:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.InPlace;
        }
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.EditMode = GridEditMode.PopUp;
        }
}

I hope this helps.
