Keeping a grid in edit mode

[Brendan Vogt]

Hi,

I have a grid, and I have been struggling with required field validators now like almost forever.  So I took out the required field validators and replaced them with Label controls.

If the grid is in edit mode and the Update button is clicked I do a check to see if the textbox is empty, if so, then I set the Label control's text to "Required".  I did a debug on this and it seems to go through 100%, but I can't seem to keep the grid in edit mode.  How do I do this?

Thanks
Brendan

Hello Brendan,


You can first check the type of the command (e.CommandName) and then cancel it as needed. This may be something like in the code snippet below:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Update")
        {
            e.Canceled = true;
        }
    }

All the best,

Hello Brendan,

You can get this done on the UpdateCommand. Check if the TextBox is empty and then populate the label and also set the e.canceled property to true.
