[Solved] RadGrid Columns Edit Mode by Condition

[Marcio Nascimento]

Hi There,

I have a radgrid with four columns. However, I have a condition: if type "A" I must show all the four columns enabled for editing. If type "B" I must show only three columns for editing.

The problem is that if I hide the column or use readonly property the field appear for editing anyway.

Is there a way or a functionality of RadGrid that could make possible to hide programmatically those fields for editing?

Thanks for any help.

You could try this in the code-behind:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
     if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
     {
        //if condition B then:
        GridEditFormItem myColumn = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
        myColumn["columnName"].Parent.Visible=false;
        else
        {
            //do nothing
        }
     }
}

I do find it strange that setting ReadOnly = true did not hide the field when you edited - a column should be invisible in the edit view when it is read only

Hi Schlurk,

Thanks for the code. It's working now.
And you are right about the readonly property.
