Programmatically Add Edit Column

[William]

I have an ASP DetailsView with a RadGrid in one of the Template Columns. What I would like to do is when I put my DetailsView into edit mode to add the edit and delete columns to the RadGrid. Right now I have it so in the DataBound event for the DetailsView I check if it's in edit mode and then add the "Add New Record" button. I have tried adding code to turn on the edit column but it doesn't work. See the code example below. Any help would be appreciated.

if(((DetailsView)sender).CurrentMode== DetailsViewMode.Edit)

            {

                DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)((DetailsView)sender).FindControl("DevicesLocation");

                Label lbl = (Label)((DetailsView)sender).FindControl("lblLocationID");

 

                LocationDropDown(ddl);

                ddl.SelectedValue = lbl.Text;

 
    // Show the command display on edit

                ipAddressRadGrid.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.Top;

      // Add edit column

                ipAddressRadGrid.AutoGenerateEditColumn = true;

 

                ipAddressRadGrid.Rebind();

            }

Hello William,

You could implement the desired functionality by defining GridEditCommandColumn and setting its Visible property to false. If the DetailsView CurrentMode is Edit set the Visible property to true. Note that setting AutoGenerateEditColumn will take effect only if called on OnPageLoad or OnPageInit events.

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditColumn" Visible="false" />

this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("EditColumn").Visible = true;
