Only show SELECT command button if column value has certain value

[Kevin]

Hello,

I have a RadGrid data bound using an EntityDataSource.

Functionality I am attempting to accomplish: The user should only be able to select a row if a column in that row contains a specific value. 

The column unique name which contains the value is PrpAnswerType.
When this rows' databound value is 6 for 'PrpAnswerType', that row should be selectable. Otherwise, there should be no select button.

I can't figure out how to hide/show the SELECT LinkButton based on another columns value for each row.

Here is my grid

Hello,

function RowSelecting(sender, eventArgs) {
               if (eventArgs.getDataKeyValue("PrpAnswerType") == "6") {
                   eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
               }
           }

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="PrpAnswerType" ClientDataKeyNames="PrpAnswerType" >

<ClientEvents OnRowSelecting="RowSelecting" />

Thanks,

Hi,

Please try the following code snippet to make the ButtonColumn visible only for the row whose 'PrpAnswerType' value is 6.

C#:

protected void grdProperties_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem ditem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        LinkButton lnk=(LinkButton)ditem["AddColumnOption"].Controls[0];
        Label lbl = (Label)ditem.FindControl("PrpAnswerTypeLabel");
        if (lbl.Text == "6")
        {
            lnk.Visible=true;
        }
        else
        lnk.Visible=false;
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
