Hello Dan,

I created a simple example based on your code. You can find it attached to this thread.

Daniel,

Thanks for the example.  I was actually trying to use a edittemplate but was having no success adding the editbutton column to initiate the template.

Thanks, Dan

Hello Dan,

I attached another example illustrating a possible approach for EditTemplate.

You can create Edit button using GridButtonColumn, GridTemplateColumn or AutoGeneratedEditColumn.

- Auto generated Edit column:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" AutoGenerateEditColumn="true"

- GridButtonColumn

<telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" UniqueName="myEditColumn">
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>

- GridTemplateColumn

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="myEditButton" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

I hope this helps.

Hello,

The simplest way I can put is I have a grideditcommandcolumn in my grid and I have a formtemplate to us ein edit mode.

When I run my page and click the edit button.  Nothing happens.  The edit form does not appear.

Thanks, Dan

Hello,

I found the problem.  I have this in my columns section:

<

rad:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton"></rad:GridEditCommandColumn>

When you run the page and click the button nothing happens.  When I remove the buttontype:

 

<

rad:GridEditCommandColumn></rad:GridEditCommandColumn>

It works and my editgrid shows up.

Thanks, Dan

Hi, 

I am facing the same problem. When I convert the GridEditCommandColumn to ImageButton type, the edit is not happening. Only a post back happens. Here is the code that I am using :

  protected void grdQueue_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
        {
            GridColumn col = (GridColumn)e.Column;
            if (col.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedEditColumn")
            {
                GridEditCommandColumn editCol = (GridEditCommandColumn)e.Column;
                editCol.HeaderText = "Resend Fax";
                editCol.UpdateImageUrl = "~/Content/Images/CheckMark.png";
               //problem is here with the below line. if i remove this line, edit works.
                editCol.ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
                
                editCol.UpdateText = "Send";
                editCol.EditText = "Resend";
                editCol.EditImageUrl = "~/Content/Images/Icons/Fax_Small.png";


                editCol.CancelText = "Cancel";
                editCol.CancelImageUrl = "~/Content/Images/Icons/icon_vh_closeLarge.png";
            }
        }

  Problem is  with the below line. if i remove this line, edit works but a normal link will be shown.
                editCol.ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton; 

how can I change the autogenerated edit buttons so that i display images instead of a normal link ? 

Thanks,
Nishanth

Hello Nishanth,

I tried the same scenario and it is working as expected in my end. Here am pasting the code that I tried. Please elaborate your scenario if it doesn't help.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Column.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedEditColumn")
       {
           GridEditCommandColumn editcol = (GridEditCommandColumn)e.Column;
           editcol.ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
           editcol.HeaderText = "editme";
           editcol.UpdateText = "Send";
           editcol.EditText = "Resend";
           editcol.EditImageUrl = "~/Content/Images/Icons/Fax_Small.png";
           editcol.CancelText = "Cancel";
           editcol.CancelImageUrl = "~/Content/Images/Icons/icon_vh_closeLarge.png";
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.
