Normal DataGrid Equivalent Property

[Sandeep]

Hi all,

I am implementing the edit mode in a RadGrid.

The code for a normal ASP.NET datagrid is simple and it boils down to

protected void MyDataGrid_Edit(object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
   MyDataGrid.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;
  BindGrid()

}


BUT i am not finding the exact equivalent for "MyDataGrid.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex"   in a RADGRID.

it throws a compilation error if i write

radGrid.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex


So can anyone send me the equivalent for the below line for a RadGrid ?
MyDataGrid.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex


Any alternative solutions welcome

Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

In RadGrid you can use GridEditCommandColumn which will put the item in edit mode when the Edit button is Clicked(you dont have to write code for that).

ASPX:

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn" Visible="true" ></telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

 

Or else if you are using a GridButtonColumn to put the Grid in Edit mode you can try the following code snippet in the Edit command event.

ASPX:

 <telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="Edit" HeaderText="EditCol" ButtonType="LinkButton" Text="EditItem" ></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_EditCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Item.Edit = true;
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

I have been stuck trying to escape from the edit mode.  On asp.net grids, I was using DataGrid.EditItemIndex = -1 to complete an updateCommand event.  I replaced code with e.Item.Edit = False and now works.

Hi Morris,

You can also try the following line of code to clear all the edit items in RadGrid.

CS:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ClearEditItems();

Thanks
