RadGrid - - Insert template - how to not show the column header?

[Scott]

How can I have full control of the Insert Template (e.g. I would like to create my own label and formatting for the label) inside the Template?

For example, the insert automatically shows the column header, but when I convert the field to a template it still shows the column header in addition to whatever additional stuff I put in the Insert template.

   - Item 1 on the attached image comes from the column header.  I'd like to get rid of that.

Mainly interested in a Detail Insert Template if it makes any difference on how to do this.

While we are at it... how do I change the Save/Cancel Icons in the Insert Item for a Detail?

  - item 2 on the attached image is what I'd like to change

Hi Scott,

Based on the provided information I would assume that you are using GridTemplateColumn and its InsertItemTemplate. Please let me know if my assumption is wrong.

Looking at the desired outcome I would suggest you review the Custom Edit Forms functionality of the Grid. By utilizing FormTemplate or WebUserControl option for the EditFormType property of the GridTableView (Master or Detail table) you can have full control over the content of the whole edit form and shape it as per your requirements.

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
  <FormTemplate>You can use traditional data binding<br/>Which require you to handle the updates yourself<br/>
    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.Country" ) %>'/>
    <br/>When using automatic updates, you can use the Bind method<br/> 
    <asp:TextBoxID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Country") %>' />  
  </FormTemplate>
<EditFormSettings>     

Check out the following resources to get a better idea of how to use the Custom Edit Forms:

• https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-editing/edit-form-types/defaultcs.aspx  - WebUserControl demo

I hope this will prove helpful.

Kind regards,

Ah... ok  

That is weird how both the Insert and Edit use the same template.

I'll have to play around with it.

Thanks
