Question about using RadDataForm to edit grid data like a popup.

[David]

I found an example of using RadDataForm like a popup on these forums.  Is there a way to add a button in the upper right to cancel and close the popup?

It looks as if in the ERP example you are really placing the DataForm in a new window (RadWindow) to accomplish this.  Is that the only way or is there an easier way to make this happen?

Thanks..

Hello David,

To achieve the desired result you can modify the control template of the RadDataForm control and introduce a button in a location of your choice. You should then bind this button's Command to the RadDataFormCommands.CancelEdit as can be observed in the PART_CancelButton definition.

<telerik:RadButton x:Name="PART_CancelButton"
        MinWidth="48"
        MinHeight="20"
        Margin="2 4 4 4"
        Content="{TemplateBinding CancelButtonContent}"
        Command="{x:Static controls:RadDataFormCommands.CancelEdit}"/>

Note, however, that you will still need to close the popup or collapse the RadDataForm in the EditEnded event similarly to the approach suggested in this blog post.

I hope you find this helpful. If you need any further assistance, please let me know.
