I have a RadGridView control on a form which I need to place a RadButton over the top of.      The RadGridView will be disabled in code using the enabled property based on a timer.   Basically a timer will disable the grid and the refreshing aspect of it.    The RadButton will then be made visiable and allow the user to re-enable the grid display and thus allowing data to update again.

The problem I am having is that the RadButton docks to the RadGridView Control meaning it becomes a child of the RadGridView control.   This means when I disable the RadGridView the button also becomes disabled.

Do you have any idea how I can have the button overlapping the RadGridView Control without it becoming a child of the control?

Hello Neil,

You can rearrange the hierarchy of controls on your form using the Document Outline tool. In your particular case you need to drag the RadButton node out of the RadGridView node and then set the Location property from the Visual Studio property grid.

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
