[Solved] RadGrid EditMode="EditForms" Issue

[Jack]

I have a GridBoundColumn in a RadGrid that represents a primary key value and have its visible property set to "false" becuase it should not be editable. However, when clicking on 'edit' or 'add new record', the value becomes both visible and editable in the EditForm. I have tried setting the ReadOnly property to true, but this generates an error saying that I have to declare the variable. I need the value to be available in edit mode to ensure that the proper update. Does anyone know how I can make this happen?

Hi Jack,

Try setting the ReadOnly property for the GridboundColumn in the Aspx as shown below.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ProductName" HeaderText="ProductName"  ReadOnly="true" Visible="true" SortExpression="ProductName" UniqueName="ProductName"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Hi,

I tried accessing the hidden field in the edit mode using the GetDataKeyValue property.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"  DataKeyNames="ProductName"  >

    <Columns>
        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ProductName" HeaderText="ProductName" UniqueName="ProductName" ReadOnly="true" >
        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="SupplierID" HeaderText="SupplierID" UniqueName="SupplierID">
        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn></telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
    </Columns>

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            string strKey = item.GetDataKeyValue("ProductName").ToString();

        }
    }

Thanks
Shinu.

Hi Jack,

You can also enable or disable the Textbox in the edit mode as shown below.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
     if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)edititem["ProductName"].Controls[0];
            txtbx.Enabled = false;
        }

    }
