[Solved] In-place editing with popup

[Shanthala Somashekar]

I have a telerik grid control and use in-place editing. Since telerik does not support checkboxlist columns, I want to popup a small window with a checkboxlist and a close button when the user clicks on a cell that requires the user to select multiple items. When the close button on the popup is hit, I want to populate the cell with a comma separated list of choices selected. Is this possible and is there an example that I can look into for doing this?

Thanks

Hello Shanthala,

Inorder to display a CheckBoxLIst for a column while editing, you can use a GridTemplateColumn, wherein you can add a CheckBoxList to its EditItemTemplate and update the cell accordingly. Here's a sample:
aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server">
            <asp:ListItem Text="Text1" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Text="Text2"></asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Text="Text3"></asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Text="Text4"></asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Text="Text5"></asp:ListItem>
        </asp:CheckBoxList>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

If you want to display the checkboxlist in a popup window, then you can refer to the following online demo which explains on how to popup a window on clicking a hyperlink and update records in the grid. You can probably use the same logic and alter it according to your requirement:
