Problem Putting a grid into edit mode programatically

[Tim]

Hi

I am seeing a problem when I attempt to put one of my grids into edit mode.

The grid is defined as follows:

 

 

<telerik:RadGrid ID="ColumnRadGrid" runat="server"

 

 

 

AllowAutomaticUpdates="True"

 

 

 

AllowFilteringByColumn="false"

 

 

 

AllowMultiRowSelection="true"

 

 

 

AllowSorting="false"

 

 

 

AutoGenerateColumns="false"

 

 

 

ClientSettings-AllowColumnsReorder="false"

 

 

 

Height="100%"

 

 

 

OnItemCreated="ColumnRadGrid_ItemCreated"

 

 

 

OnItemUpdated="ColumnRadGrid_ItemUpdated"

 

 

 

OnNeedDataSource="ColumnRadGrid_NeedDataSource"

 

 

 

ShowHeader="true"

 

 

 

TabIndex="6"

 

 

 

Visible="True"

 

 

 

Width="100%">

 

 

 

<ClientSettings AllowKeyboardNavigation="true" EnableRowHoverStyle="false" >

 

 

 

<Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />

 

 

 

<ClientEvents OnRowDblClick="ColumnRowDblClick" OnRowClick="RowClick"

 

 

 

OnGridCreated="GridCreated" OnCommand="GridCommand" />

 

 

 

<Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="True" />

 

 

 

</ClientSettings>

 

 

 

 

<MasterTableView BorderWidth="1" EditMode="InPlace" GridLines="Vertical" TableLayout="Fixed" Height="100%" Width="100%">

 

 

 

 

<Columns>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridBoundColumn

 

 

 

DataField="ColumnName"

 

 

 

HeaderText="Data Field"

 

 

 

ItemStyle-Wrap="False"

 

 

 

ReadOnly="True"

 

 

 

UniqueName="columnName" >

 

 

 

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridBoundColumn

 

 

 

ColumnEditorID="GridTextBoxColumnEditor"

 

 

 

DataField="Alias"

 

 

 

HeaderText="Column Alias"

 

 

 

ItemStyle-Wrap="False"

 

 

 

UniqueName="columnAlias" >

 

 

 

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn

 

 

 

HeaderStyle-Width="100px"

 

 

 

HeaderText="Show Option"

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<asp:Label ID="ColumnRadGridShowLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("ShowText") %>' ClientIDMode="Static">

 

 

 

</asp:Label>

 

 

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<EditItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="ColumnRadGridShowComboBox" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" Width="90px">

 

 

 

</telerik:RadComboBox>

 

 

 

</EditItemTemplate>

 

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn

 

 

 

HeaderStyle-Width="135px"

 

 

 

HeaderText="Sort Option"

 

 

 

ItemStyle-Width="135px"

 

 

 

ItemStyle-Wrap="False"

 

 

 

UniqueName="sortOption" >

 

 

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<asp:Label ID="ColumnRadGridSortLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("SortText") %>' ClientIDMode="Static">

 

 

 

</asp:Label>

 

 

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<EditItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="ColumnRadGridSortComboBox" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" Width="125px">

 

 

 

</telerik:RadComboBox>

 

 

 

</EditItemTemplate>

 

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

 

 

</Columns>

 

 

 

</MasterTableView>

 

 

 

</telerik:RadGrid>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTextBoxColumnEditor ID="GridTextBoxColumnEditor" runat="server" TextBoxStyle-Width="165px" />

 

I have followed your example on double-clicking a grid row and putting it into edit mode.
This part of the problem I have working.

The following part however is giving me problems.

Our UI requires I have and 'Edit' Image button outside the grid, and clicking this UI element
should put the selected row into edit mode.

It does, briefly. Then I get a post-back or something and the row reverts to uneditable.

I am using the same client-side call as works in my row double click event.

One more thing. This UI is inside an aspx file that I am referencing in a RadWindow.

What am I missing????
