[Solved] Open RadWindow From Edit Column

[John]

Is there a way when you the user presses the edit button in the grid to open a radwindow instead of the edit template?  If an item mets a certain condition I need to handle the edit differently.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {

            if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode) && (m_status == -3)) //its draft open rad window
            {
                  //Some how trigger radwindow to open here
                 /*  what goes here to trigger an ajaxpostback javascript trigger
                 *   for window open?
                */
            }
            else if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
            {
                   //Populate the template form as usual
}
}

Hi John,

You can find it in this online example. In addition, I am glad to announce that pop-up edit form will be supported by RadGrid out of the box in our next release (Q1 2008 ) expected in mid April. You can check it in our "Futures" release, more details are available here.

Thanks for the link, that helped me get it working.  My solution ended up being a little different so I'll post my solution:

In aspx I have a GridEditCommandColumn with a uniquename="EditColumn"

then in the cs page in the RadGrid1_PreRender method i check a status flag and if its a different status then the inline form i open the window:

                    if (m_status == -3)
                    {
                        dataItem["EditColumn"].Attributes["onclick"] = "WindowOpen('addnewToDoWindow','/net/todosForm.aspx','todoid=" + dataItem["ID"].Text + "',true)";
                        dataItem["EditColumn"].Text = "<span style=\"color: #336699; text-decoration: underline;\">Edit</span>";
                    }
