RadGrid - Add a new record

[Mani PC]

Hello Experts,
I am using Radgrid  - which as Add a new record.

i am using this code to implement Add New Record:
-----------------------------------------

    <CommandItemTemplate > 
      <asp:Button ID="btnInsertRecord" Text="Insert Record"  Runat="server" CommandName="InitInsert"  Height = "25" Width="100" Font-Bold="true" ></asp:Button> 

    </CommandItemTemplate>

-----------------------------------

In the Add mode - The grid columns are  displayed in vertical format(one below the other), can we make it to display in Horizontal format....

If possible please give me sample code...

Thanks

Hello Mani,

Try setting InPlace edit mode to achieve your scenario.
aspx:

<MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" EditMode="InPlace" >

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello Mani,

Try setting AutoGenerateEditColumn for the RadGrid.
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateEditColumn="true">
. . . .
</telerik:RadGrid>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks Shinu.

The column width is so small, i can only see Update and not the Cancel...
Now i want to increase the column width (Update/Cancel).. any idea?


Also i have edit button on the grid(left side), i dont want the edit text at the end of the grid to be displayed... i want to hide the edit text..any idea?

Thanks

Hello Mani,

In order to show the insert and cancel buttons, you need to hide the Edit links from code behind. Here is the sample code.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 foreach(GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)
 {
    ((LinkButton)item["AutoGeneratedEditColumn"].Controls[0]).Visible = false;
 }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
