Hi,

You can add the button to the Edit Form by accessing the parent  item of the Text box control for the Password  field and add it to the control collection. You can then popup a window using a  similar logic in the sample below:
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditFormItem editForm = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)editForm["Password"].Controls[0];
            Button btn = new Button();
            btn.ID = "btnWindow";
            btn.Text = "Open Window";
            btn.Attributes["onclick"] = String.Format("return ShowForm('{0}');", editForm.ParentItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[editForm.ParentItem.ItemIndex]["Password"]);
            txtbx.Parent.Controls.Add(btn);

        }
    }

js:

function ShowForm(pwd)
            {
                var grid = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
                window.radopen("Page.aspx?Password=" + pwd, "Form");
                return false;
            }

Thanks

This is a great example for what I needed as well. Just a couple more questions...

1) This works if EditMode is PopUp, but not InPlace. How can I get it to work for InPlace as well?

2) You referenced the "Password" value from DataKeyValues, but how can I reference any of the field values in the current row in both the server-side and client-side examples you gave?

Thanks.

Hi Jeremy Yoder,

Please go through the help article below, which illustrates how to include additional button when edit mode is InPlace:
Additional action button in auto-generated edit form

I hope this gets upi started properly.

1) Your link doesn't make sense to me. It tells how to create a Delete GridEditCommandColumn button. That's not what this thread is about, which is an actual button like the first Post's image shows, and how Princy's example makes it happen.

2) Could I get an answer to this question?

Hi Jeremy,

Attached to this message, is a small application, which handles the desired functionality. Check it out and let me know if it works as expected.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
