Make GridLines visible but button GridButtonColumn invisible

[Archana]

Hi,

I have written code on ItemDataBound event of grid to check certain condition. If that condition is met then I would like to make 'Delete' button in GridButtonColumn and 'Edit' button in GridEditCommandColumn invisible for that row. For other rows these buttons should be visible.
I have managed to make these button invisible but for those rows and for these two columns only it is not showing gridlines and it looks weird. How to make it show gridlines but make image buttons invisible?

Thanks.

HI,

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="15" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
           OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
           <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="Name">
               <Columns>
                   <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name">
                   </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                   <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditColumn">
                   </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                   <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                       <ItemTemplate>
                           <asp:Button ID="btnDelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete"  Text="Delete"/>
                       </ItemTemplate>
                   </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
               </Columns>
           </MasterTableView>
       </telerik:RadGrid>

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string strName = item.GetDataKeyValue("Name").ToString();
            if (strName == "1")
            {
                Button btnDelete = (Button)item.FindControl("btnDelete");
                btnDelete.Visible = false;

                LinkButton lnkEdit = (LinkButton)item["EditColumn"].Controls[0];
                lnkEdit.Visible = false;

                // if your Edit button type is ButtonType="ImageButton" then u can get here imagebutton in place of linkbutton
            }
        }
    }
}

let me know if any concern
