[Solved] Limiting columns in the Edit View that are visible in the Model and ClientRowTemplate

[Reid]

Hi All,

In a Grid that is using a ClientRowTemplate there is a column bound for "Enabled".  A boolean column in the model.  In the ClientRowTemplate I would like to make the Enabled display a "Yes" or "No" and the Edit Popup form to use a checkbox as it is.

I created a wrapper property in the model of type string that is set in the set method of the class so the value is in use in the RowTemplate as "EnabledDisplay".  Question is, given the template code below how can the Enabled property be formated in a "Yes" and "No" way or how can I hide "EnabledDisplay" (or any other field) from the Edit form?

.ClientRowTemplate(grid =>
  "<div class='user-details'>" +
       "<h3 class='t-widget'><#= UserName #></h3>" +

          "<dl class='t-widget'>" +
            "<dt>Title:</dt><dd><#= Title #></dd>" +
            "<dt>Phone:</dt><dd><#= PhoneNumber #></dd>" +
          "</dl>" +

           "<dl>" +

               <dt>User Name:</dt><dd><#= UserName #></dd>" +
               "<dt>Email:</dt><dd><#= Email #></dd>" +
                "<dt>Enabled:</dt><dd><#= Enabled #></dd>" +
            "</dl>" +

                "<div class='commands'>" +
                 grid.EditButton(null) + grid.DeleteButton(null) +
            "</div>" + "</div>")

Thanks,

Hello Reid,

Basically in such cases you can use the ternary operator. For example in this demo the following line of code:

.ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' disabled='disabled' name='Discontinued' <#=Discontinued? checked='checked' : '' #> />");

checks if the value of the Discontinued property is true it adds a checked attribute to the input.
So in your case it should look like this:

<#= Discontinued? 'yes' : 'no' #>

Petur,

Actually I am not sure if I understand you on this.

I have a column that exists in the model and outputs on the ClientTemplate using Ajax binding and events.  I want to supress that column on the Edit View Template that shows when the grid is set to Pop-Up for edting a record.

Thanks,

Reid

Hi Reid,

To make that particular property (column) visible for display and invisible in edit you can add the [HiddenInput(DisplayValue=false)] in your model definition.
