Preventing Auto-Generated Forms

[James Legan]

I have an grid where I am programatically handling the edit command (it displays a panel, etc...). However, I cannot seem to be able to prevent the auto-generated edit form from appearing below the item for which I clicked "Edit". I can make it a pop-up or even a custom form, but not prevent it. Is there a way to do this?

Hello James,

I suppose you would like to prevent the EditForm from appearing for certain rows. If this is the case, then you can check for the index of the row and then cancel the event as shown in the code below.
cs:

protected void RadGrid2_EditCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        int index = editItem.ItemIndex;
        if (index == 5)
        {
            e.Canceled = true;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Princy,

This worked in code behind. However, I have another grid in the panel that gets displayed when I hit edit on the primary grid (that I needed the code for). When I try and edit a value on this secondary grid, it makes the edit box visible on the primary form again. I cannot seem to find the clinet-side equiv to what you listed to prevent this from happening.

Hi James,

I am rather confused with the described scenario. From my unserstanding for displaying a panel containing the Grid outside the primary Grid  on clicking the edit button consider using a GridButtonColumn with a custom CommandName other than Edit and display the Panel from the ItemCommand event. If this is not the desired scenario sending your aspx will be more good.
