[Solved] Insert Only Field

[Chris]

Hi,
    I'm trying to make a datakey field that can only be modified when the user clicks on the "Add New Record" button.  If the user clicks on the "Edit" button, then the field would be read only.  Is this possible?

I was considering capturing the click event of the "Edit" button and disabling the datakeys corresponding textbox...

Sorry if this is already in the forums somewhere, I was unable to find an example like it.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris Kidd,

You can try this (if using ajax editing/binding):
<% Html.Telerik().Grid<T>()
                 .ClientEvents(events => events.OnLoad("onLoad"))
%>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function onLoad() {
        $('.t-grid-edit', this).live('click', function(e) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('#Grid .t-edit-form #ProductName').hide();
            }, 0)
        });
    }
    </script>

Replace "Grid" and "ProductName" in the onLoad JavaScript routine with the name of your grid and bound field you want to hide.
