Looking for a way to hav a permanent edit field

[CSurieux]

Hello,

Is there some sample on having a grid field permanently in 'edit' mode to avoid having to cycle between normal/edit/update/normal mode of grid which necessitate many mouse clicks and callbacks ?
I am using the grid in an order form and I want users to be able to enter quantities using a RadInput and press recalculate without having to pilotate the edit mode.

Thanks
CS

Hello Christian,

You can place your entire grid in Edit mode as mentioned in the follwoing help document:
Default edit mode for grid items

You can also refer to the following online demo which provides an example of using a RadNumericTextBox:
RadNumericTextBox for Footer Totals

Thanks

Thanks for answer Princy,

But being always in edit mode leads to extremelly complicated codebehind, is there anything else ?

Hello Christian,

You can use a GridTemplateColumn with a RadTextBox in its ItemTemplate. Then on the TextChanged event of the textbox you can update the changes made to the datasource.
aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn">
      <ItemTemplate>
            <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1"  Text='<%#Bind("ContactName") %>' runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnTextChanged="RadTextBox1_TextChanged">
            </telerik:RadTextBox>
       </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

c#:

 protected void RadTextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string strtxt = ((RadTextBox)sender).Text;
        // query to update strtxt
    }

Thanks
Princy.
