RadGrid disable a particular Row

[Chandra]

Hi ,


I would like to disable a particular row based on a particular label name for instance "TEST", so if the Row has label name = "TEST", I would like to disable that entire row. There are two problems that I am facing.

1. I have a GridClientSelectColumn, and I'm inclined to thinking this the cause of the issue.
2. The row is being disabled only after a postback has occured.  But on initial load it is not being disabled.

For Each item As GridDataItem In grdVisibleColumns.MasterTableView.Items
            If item.Cells(3).Text = "TEST" Then
                item.Enabled = False
                Dim chkbx As CheckBox = DirectCast(item("grdVisibleChkBox").Controls(0), CheckBox)
                chkbx.Enabled = False
            End If
        Next

I put this code in the page pre-render event BTW, I tried placing the code in a number of places (Grid events), but it did not help, when the page initially loads the Row TEST is enabled.

Please advise.

Thanks.
Chandra

Hello Chandra,

The behavior that you are observing is due to the fact that the PreRender event it too late in the page's life cycle. The correct event for disabling the row and the CheckBox control would be the OnItemDataBound:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
        Dim item As GridDataItem = TryCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
        If item.Cells(3).Text = "TEST" Then
            item.Enabled = False
            Dim chkbx As CheckBox = DirectCast(item("grdVisibleChkBox").Controls(0), CheckBox)
            chkbx.Enabled = False
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Please give this a try and see if the result meets your requirements.
