RadGrid Checkbox

[Matthew]

I have a requirement to have a Grid of 20+ Configuration items with a check box to show if each item is enabled in our app. A user has to click a global "edit" button held in the masterpage to enable the grid for editing and then click a global "save" icon, also in the master page which would then write the data back to the database.  I've spent the last 8 hours searching for something similar only to be confounded with template column issues where i cant disable them on page load and gridcheckcolumns that i cant enable on clicking the "edit" button.

 

Please can somebody point be in the right direction

Thanks

Hi Matthew,

In order to implement similar behavior you could use RadGrid in Batch Editing mode. This mode enables you to edit multiple cells in RadGrid and submit the changes in a single request to the server. Check out the following online example that illustrates the approach:

• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-editing/batch-editing/defaultcs.aspx

You can also save the changes via an external button like described in the thread below:

• http://www.telerik.com/forums/batch-editing---need-to-have-the-save-changes-button-outside-the-grid#NDF_maVvxEqXk7_Pe7vgUw

In order to make the grid non-editable you can use a flag. This flag can be changed by the "edit" button you mentioned. In addition you can handle the OnBatchEditOpening client-side event of RadGrid and cancel it depending on the flag value.
