[Solved] I want to use the edit icon instead of an edit hyperlink to show a external radwindow for editing.

I've got the grid edit hyperlink working but I would rather use the default edit icon. Any ideas how to do this? Here is my code:

                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateEditColumn">

                    <FilterTemplate> 

                    </FilterTemplate>

                    <ItemTemplate>

                        <asp:HyperLink ID="EditLink" runat="server" Text="Edit"></asp:HyperLink>

                    </ItemTemplate>

                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>



protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

    {

        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

        HyperLink editLink = (HyperLink)e.Item.FindControl("EditLink");

        editLink.Attributes["href"] = "#";

        editLink.Attributes["onclick"] = String.Format("return ShowEditForm('{0}','{1}');", item.GetDataKeyValue("CatalogueItemId"), item.ItemIndex);

    }

}

The above works perfectly but I would really like to use the default edit icon instead of a hyperlink. Please help. Thanks

Hello,
Since the Edit icon is rendered as ImageButton, you can access it from code behind as ImageButton like below

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
       {
           GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
           ImageButton editbutton = (ImageButton)item["EditCommandColumn"].Controls[0];
           editbutton.Attributes["onclick"]=//your code
       }
   }

ASPX:

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn" ButtonType="ImageButton"></telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

Thanks,
Princy.
