RadGrid Header Text Prob

[prathyusha]

 

Hi

In my grid view when I click on add new template I will see the following controls

Xyz  (TextBox)
Abc (TextBox)
Def (TextBox)

CopyFrom (DropDown)


But When I edit  the record, I want to display only

XYz
ABC
DEF

In the grid also I am not displaying  CopyFrom as A column.

I tried in 2 ways but each one has their own issue which I am not able to figure it out.

First Way:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="CopyTemplateColumn" Visible="false" HeaderText="CopyFrom">

<EditItemTemplate>
<telerik:RadComboBox DataSourceID="TemplateDataSourceForCopy" DataTextField="TemplateName"

DataValueField="Id" ID="ddlTargetTemplate" Width="100" Visible="true" runat="server">

</telerik:RadComboBox>

</EditItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

When I am doing Visible="false" HeaderText="CopyFrom"

Prob:  In the edit window also I am seeing “CopyFrom” Text since it is header text.  But not seeing dropdown since I am taking care of this from code behind.

Could someone please suggest me how to hide this header text from edit window.

Second Way:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="CopyTemplateColumn" Visible="false" HeaderText="CopyFrom">

<EditItemTemplate>

  <asp:Label ID="lblCopy" runat="server" Text="Copy From" ></asp:Label>

   <telerik:RadComboBox DataSourceID="TemplateDataSourceForCopy" DataTextField="TemplateName"

    DataValueField="Id" ID="ddlTargetTemplate" Width="100" Visible="true" runat="server">

    </telerik:RadComboBox>

 </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Prob:

When I am using Label without header text.

Controls are not aligning properly. Since HeaderColumn is null.

XYZ

ABC

DEF

    CopyFrom

Could some one please suggest me to solve this issue.
I really apreciate it. Since I spent lot of time ont his but didn't get resolved.

Thanks in Advance

Hello Prathyusha,

Try the following code snippet to achieve your scenario.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
 {
     if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode && !(e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem))
      {
          GridEditFormItem editableitem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
          RadComboBox list = editableitem.FindControl("ddlTargetTemplate") as RadComboBox;
          list.Visible = false;
          list.Parent.Parent.Visible = false;
      }
  }

Thanks,
Princy.
