    Hi all,
    I'm probably being really thick here...

    I have an object-based datasource, which is a List<MyObject>, which I've got displaying nicely in my Grid.

    I don't want the user to be able to add new rows to the grid, but I do want to have the Refresh button above the grid.

    Is there a setting for the Grid to make it read-only (thus removing the Add new record button), or is it something I need to do with my datasource?

    Thanks,

    James

    Hello James,

    You can remove just the AddNewRecord button from the command item above the grid using the following code:
    c#:
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem) 
        { 
            Button spriteAddButton = e.Item.FindControl("AddNewRecordButton") as Button; 
            spriteAddButton.Visible = false; 
      
            LinkButton addButton = e.Item.FindControl("InitInsertButton") as LinkButton; 
            addButton.Visible = false; 
        } 
    } 

    Thanks
    Princy.

    Hi Sudheer,
    Thanks - but won't that also remove the Refresh button? I want the Refresh button, but not the Add new record button.
