[Solved] InPlace Edit - Location of Cancel link button

[Troy]

Hi guys,

Using the EditMode="InPlace" edit form of the grid, is it possible to leave the "Update" link button where it is but place the "cancel" link button in the next column (where the "Delete" link button is - see attached)

Hello,

You can achieve this thing by using below code snippet.

<Columns>
                       <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" UniqueName="ID" HeaderText="ID">
                       </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                       <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" UniqueName="Name" HeaderText="Name"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                       <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                           <ItemTemplate>
                               <asp:LinkButton ID="btnEdit" runat="server" Text="Edit" CommandName="Edit"></asp:LinkButton>
                           </ItemTemplate>
                           <EditItemTemplate>
                           </EditItemTemplate>
                       </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                       <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                           <ItemTemplate>
                               <asp:LinkButton ID="btnDelete" runat="server" Text="Delete" CommandName="Delete"></asp:LinkButton>
                           </ItemTemplate>
                           <EditItemTemplate>
                               <asp:LinkButton ID="btnUpdate" runat="server" Text="Update" CommandName="Update"></asp:LinkButton>
                               <asp:LinkButton ID="btnCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" CommandName="Cancel"></asp:LinkButton>
                           </EditItemTemplate>
                       </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                   </Columns>
