Include control before DetailTables

[Billy]

Is there a way to include a control (a link) right above the details table when expanding a row? Hopefully the code below explains this a little better:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" runat="server" ShowStatusBar="true" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowSorting="True" skin="Windows7">
        <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="DepartmentID">

            <%--I want to put a link here--%>

            <DetailTables>
                <telerik:GridTableView Name="DetailsGrid">
                    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="PersonName" HeaderText="Person Name" DataField="PersonName"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    </Columns>
                </telerik:GridTableView>
            </DetailTables>
            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="DepartmentName" HeaderText="Department Name" DataField="DepartmentName"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            </Columns>
        </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>

Hello,


If you need the link right above each detail table, then the better option is adding the control in CommandItemTemplate of 'GridTableView'.
aspx:

<DetailTables>
      <telerik:GridTableView HierarchyDefaultExpanded="true"
            DataKeyNames="OrderID" . . .  Width="100%" runat="server">
        <CommandItemTemplate>
               <%--link goes here--%>
        </CommandItemTemplate>

Hello Billy,

You can place the link in the CommandItem for your DetailTable. And also set the property CommandItemDisplay to"Top". This way it will be displayed above the records in the DetailTable.

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="DepartmentID">
   <DetailTables>
      <telerik:GridTableView Name="DetailsGrid" CommandItemDisplay="Top">
         <CommandItemTemplate>
            <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="MyLinkButton" Text="This is simple link"></asp:LinkButton>
         </CommandItemTemplate>
         <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="PersonName" HeaderText="Person Name" DataField="PersonName"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
         </Columns>
      </telerik:GridTableView>
   </DetailTables>

Kind regards,
