Insert only in grid

[Scott]

Hi All. Sorry if this has been answered previously but i couldn't find any related posts.

I am trying to design a grid with the "Add a New Record" option in the header and footer (CommandItemDisplay="TopAndBottom")  for an InPlace insert. It works great if i put a command column in the grid. However I would like to only show the insert and cancel commands in the row that is to be inserted. The MasterTableView has the "AllowAutomaticInserts="true" property set, none of the other automatic properties are set. I do not want an edit option on all the other existing rows in the grid. Can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help.
Scott

Hello Scott,

Showing GridCommandItem (CommandItemDisplay="TopAndBottom") will only show the interface to open RadGrid insert form. The items that already exists in the grid will no have editing option.

All the best,

Hello Scott,


If you want to show the insert options and want to remove the edit LinkButtons, then the following code will be of help.

Code:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
      if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("EditColumn").Display = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted;
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && !e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        (e.Item as GridEditableItem)["EditColumn"].Controls[0].Visible = false;

}

ASPX:

<Columns>
    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditColumn">
    </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

Thank you both for your replies.
@Nikolay, you are correct, the insert form will show when clicking on the Add new record button. However I was hoping to use the Inline edit (insert) without having an edit link or button on each of the existing lines. I have attached an image of how I would like the grid to function.

@Shinu, I have tried your suggestion and I still am getting an edit option. I tried moving the code to the ItemCommand event as well and it sill doesn't work as desired.

Thanks again for your help

Hi Scott,

To achieve your goal you can customize the command item by using the template of a GridTableView.CommandItemTemplate. Please refer to the help article below for addiitonal information.
