[Solved] Pop up Edit Form

[Sean]

Is there a way to call the Pop Up Edit From from a button click?

Hello Sean,

Very intuitively, you can put any item in edit mode from outside RadGrid:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[3].FireCommandEvent("Edit", null);

The above code places the item with Index 3 in edit mode, and this method can be called from any control and event.

Thank you, that worked. Now is there anyway to set the text of a textbox in the edit form? Currently i have the textbox bound to a field, can i add a carriage return before the text. something like textbox1.text = vbcrlf & textbox.text when the form loads

Hello Sean,

You can try out the following code to customize the text of a textbox in the UserControl EditForm:
aspx.cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            string vbcrlf = "value"; //pass the carriage return here
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            UserControl user = (UserControl)editItem.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID);
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)user.FindControl("TextBox1");
            txtbx.Text = vbcrlf + txtbx.Text;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
