[Solved] RadGrid EditForm Template

[Joan]

Hello everybody!

I have a problem and I dont know how to resolve it.
I have a grid, in the grid I have some columns. When the page loads I want to appear the records of the grid but also the template to add new records, also has the link to add a new record, to edit and to remove (this two in each row of the records).
The template doesnt have all the fields on my table. But when I load the page I need to bind combos on my template and then save those values.
Here is my grid aspx:

<

                    <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridArticles" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" GridLines="None" OnNeedDataSource="RadGridArticles_NeedDataSource" OnInsertCommand="RadGridArticles_InsertCommand" OnDeleteCommand="RadGridArticles_DeleteCommand" OnUpdateCommand="RadGridArticles_UpdateCommand">
                        <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="Id" InsertItemDisplay="top" CommandItemDisplay="Top">
                            <CommandItemSettings AddNewRecordText="Add new record" ShowRefreshButton="false" />
                            <Columns>
                                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Article Name" DataField="Name"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                                <telerik:GridNumericColumn HeaderText="Amount" DataField="ArticleAmount"></telerik:GridNumericColumn>
                                <telerik:GridNumericColumn HeaderText="Price" DataField="ArticlePrice" NumericType="Currency" DecimalDigits="2"></telerik:GridNumericColumn>
                                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Category" DataField="CategoryName"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Category THF">
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <%#  Eval("CategoryName")%> <%#  Eval("THFDescription")%>
                                    </ItemTemplate>

                                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                                <telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="PushButton" Text="Add" CommandName="Edit"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>
                                <telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="PushButton" Text="Remove" CommandName="Delete"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>
                            </Columns>
                            <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
                                <FormTemplate>
                                    <div style="padding: 10px;">

Please telerik team could you please help me with this? How could I access to my template´s controls from my

InsertCommand method for example, or anyother place but OnItemDataBoundHandler.
Thanks!!!

Hello Joan,

The ItemDataBound event is the right place for achieve the desired functionality. Why do not you want to use it? Additionally I am sending you a simple example based on your code which demonstrates that on RadGridArticles_ItemDataBound event the RadComboBxo is bound as expected. Please check it out and let me know if it helps you.

Looking forward for your reply.

All the best,
Radoslav

Hi Radoslav!
Thanks for your code example, it hepls me a lot. I finally used the ItemDataBound, and also to set the values to edit when selected a row just checking this:

if

 

 

(e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode && !e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)

Thanks again for your help!!!
Thanks telerik team!
