Reloading a GridView dynamically

[Dario]

I'm having an issue with the GridView. I'd like to be able to dynamically make appear the AddNewRow control. By default I set the  AllowAddNewRow=false, but if the user clicks on  The "Add New Row" menu item, I'd like for the NewRow control to appear on the grid, after I set the AllowAddNewRow=true. But I can not find a way to redraw or reload the entire grid for it to appear. Is this even possible?

The gridview is on a form, do I have to reload the whole form for this work?

I am using version 2014.2.715.40.

Thanks for the help

P.S. A little sample of the method called dynamically:

public void New()
{
 radGridPilotage.MasterTemplate.BeginUpdate();
 radGridPilotage.AllowEditRow = true;
 radGridPilotage.MasterTemplate.AllowAddNewRow = true;
 radGridPilotage.MasterTemplate.EndUpdate();
 radGridPilotage.Update();
}

I figured out the right way to do this. But now I am having trouble switching the AllowEditRow=True dynamically. Is this possible or is it only possible at design time?


Thank-you

Hello Dario,

Thank you for writing.

You should be able to easily show/hide the add new row, and you do not need to use any Begin/End update blocks in this case:

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radGridView1.AllowAddNewRow = !radGridView1.AllowAddNewRow;
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Thank-you for the response Dimitri. To explain a little more my situation, The grid is on a form that is a child to a parent form. Now if I add a button on the child form, all works well. The problem is that the click actio is coming from the parent form. I found a work around for the AddNew. I basically add a new row to the binded Dataset then call the grid.Rows.AddNew() and it adds a new row to my grid, which is actually the wanted behavior.

My new problem is trying to do the same with an Edit click on the parent form(in a menu). I found that you can turn the edit of a cell on or off on the CellClick action, but I need to know how, and if it's even possible, to find the index of the cell that is clicked. I would like to use this code, unless you know of a better way: 

        

e.Row.Cells[cellIndex].BeginEdit();

Thanks again for your help,
Dario
