Mixing batch edit mode with pop-up or edit form

[Andy]

Hi!

Is it possible to have pop-up or edit form show up when adding new records to the grid or when "edit" button is clicked, but still have some cells "editable" in a batch edit mode fashion?

I was thinking of switching edit mode from code behind, when "Add" or "Edit" buttons are clicked, but when "batch" mode is enabled, there's no callback. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Andy

Ok, I figured it out. The idea is to use custom buttons for init insert and update operations, and in code-behind handle item command event and switch edit modes and rebind the grid.

Hello Andy,

Instead of creating custom controls, you can intercept the commands using the OnUserAction or OnCommand event handlers:

And fire your own custom command and change the mode depending on your specific preferences:

Hello, Eyup

Thank you for reply. In fact that's not custom controls that I'm using, it's just asp linkbuttons with custom command names, instead of built-in buttons that radgrid generates to add and edit items. The rest is correct - I'm handling onCommand event of the the grid to switch modes.

Best,

Andy

Hello Andy,

I'm glad the approach has proven viable for your scenario. Please note for future reference that Batch editing mode is different than other modes. You can find a detailed explanation in the following section:
