Radgrid auto open in edit mode during page load

[George]

Hi all,

Is there any way to auto open the Radgrid in the edit mode for the first record during page load?
The Radgrid is set to popup user control in edit mode...

Thank you.

Regards,
George

Hi George,

Please try the following code snippet to achieve your requirement.

C#:

void rgrdSample_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  if (!IsPostBack)
  {
    rgrdSample.Items[0].Edit = true;
    rgrdSample.Rebind();
  }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Hi Princy,

Thanks for the reply. But im getting below error for the line: gvMaster.Items(0).Edit = True

"Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection."

Hi George,

Make sure that your Grid is having data and is bound in the NeedDataSource event. Please try the following sample code snippet and let me know if it works at your end. If you are not able to resolve the issue, provide your full code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="rgrdSample" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnNeedDataSource="rgrdSample_NeedDataSource" OnPreRender="rgrdSample_PreRender">
    <MasterTableView EditMode="PopUp">
       <Columns>
       <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" UniqueName="ID" />
       <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" UniqueName="Name" />
       <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Number" HeaderText="Number" UniqueName="Number" />
       <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
       </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
       </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void rgrdSample_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    dynamic data = new[] {
new { ID = 1, Name = "Name1", Number=123},
new { ID = 2, Name = "Name2", Number=234},
new { ID = 3, Name = "Name3", Number=234},
new { ID = 4, Name = "Name4", Number=456},
new { ID = 5, Name = "Name5", Number=567},
new { ID = 6, Name = "Name6", Number=567},
new { ID = 7, Name = "Name7", Number=789},
new { ID = 8, Name = "Name8", Number=896},
new { ID = 9, Name = "Name9", Number=741}
};
    rgrdSample.DataSource = data;
}
protected void rgrdSample_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        if (rgrdSample.MasterTableView.Items.Count > 0)
        {
            rgrdSample.MasterTableView.Items[0].Edit = true;
            rgrdSample.Rebind();
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
