Is it possible to display webform when edit button is clicked on grid?

[Ram]

Hi,
Currently I have some code present in a webform, I would like to call re-use this code and display the webform when "edit" button is clicked in RadGrid. I can use webusercontrolform option; but, for which I will have to duplicate the code and create a new user control.

So in summary, below are the requirements:
1) How to call existing webform when "Edit" is pressed on RadGrid?
2) I do not want to create new usercontrol and duplicate the same functionality.

Can you please advice whether this is possible in RadGrid??

Ram,

you can catch the Edit command in the _ItemCommand function. If you cancell this event than you could open the WebForm from the code. In this case you should handle edit or update from the WebForm.

protected void rgRadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
  switch (e.CommandName)
  {
    case RadGrid.EditCommandName:
      {
        e.Canceled = true;
        int iKey = Convert.ToInt32(e.Item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[e.Item.ItemIndex]["KeyID"].ToString());
        // Open the WebForm with f.e. RadWindowManager
      }
      break;
  }
}

Hi JosM,
Thanks for reply. If we follow this, will the webform be displayed inside the RadGrid or will the webform be opened in a new window?
Actually, I need to use bulk-edit option in RadGrid. Hence, displaying the webform as a separate window will not yield my expected outcome. Kindly suggest me.

Thanks,

Ram,

RadWindowManager opens a new window using IFRAME.
You could change the WebForm  and place it's content into a WebUserControl. This UserControl can be re-used in the Grid (see UserControl as EditForm in the Telerik demo's)

Hi JosM,
Thanks for quick reply. As you mentioned "RadWindowManager opens a new window using IFRAME." Could you please provide me sample code for this?

Thanks,

Ram,

<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="rwmHC" runat="server" EnableShadow="True" ReloadOnShow="True"
  ShowContentDuringLoad="False" Skin="Windows7" VisibleStatusbar="False" style="z-index:7001;">
  <Windows>
    <telerik:RadWindow ID="rwHCSetting" runat="server" EnableShadow="True" NavigateUrl="~/UC/TMS/PopUp/HourControlSetting.aspx"
      ReloadOnShow="True" ShowContentDuringLoad="False" Skin="Windows7" Style="display: none;
      width: 1000px; height: 650px;" VisibleStatusbar="false" Width="1000px" Height="650px"
      Behaviors="Move" KeepInScreenBounds="True" AutoSizeBehaviors="Default" MinWidth="1000px"
      MinHeight="650px" MaxWidth="1000px" MaxHeight="650px" Overlay="true" InitialBehaviors="Move"
      Modal="True" Animation="None">
    </telerik:RadWindow>
  </Windows>
</telerik:RadWindowManager>

When pressing on a button I call some Javascript (function RadWindowOpen is default provide by Telerik) to start the window without having a postback. In you're case maybe you need to open the window from the code behong.

<asp:ImageButton ID="btnSettings" runat="server" OnClientClick="RadWinOpen(null, 'rwHCSetting'); return false;" onfocus="this.blur()"
  CssClass="ActionButton" CausesValidation="False" ImageUrl="~/Images/EditForm/settings16x16.ico" />

Thanks JosM. I checked the below code; it is opening a new window. So, the only option left for me is to duplicate the code in usercontrol and need call the same in RadGrid when "Edit" is pressed.

Ram,

That's what I told you, it is opening a new window.

Duplicating is not necessary. You could place the the content of the WebForm which you want to re-use in a WebUserControl. You can add this WebUserControl to the existing WebForm and use the samen UserControl for editing from the grid.
