[Solved] Row Edit problem

[john]

Hi,

Is there a way to disable row edition in the grid.?On click on edit button, I want the data from the row to be displayed in the server controls on the form for edition.For that I first of all need to disable edition in grid.

Hi John,

I am not sure what exactly is your requirement. For preventing editing of a particular GridColumn you can set the Column's ReadOnly property to true.
  
You can try the following code snippet to prevent editing of entire Grid rows.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Edit")
        {
            e.Canceled = true;
        }
    }

Hi shinu,

Thanks for your reply.Actually I want to get the contents of the row every time edit button is clicked and display it in the server controls that were used to insert the information.The user will then edit the row data there.My employer wants it to work that way.So is there a way for me to access the contents of a row that has its edit button clicked?.

Hello John,

You can access the underlying GridDataItem using the following approach:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.CommandName == "Edit")
    {
        Hashtable values = new Hashtable();
        (e.Item as GridDataItem).ExtractValues(values);
        string yourValue = values["yourValue"].ToString();
    }
}

Hi John,

If you do not want to edit the row on clicking the button and just get the row data, you may consider using a GridButtonColumn with a CommandName set instead of GridEditCommandColumn. In the ItemCommand event you can check for the CommandName and access the row data.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="linkbutton" Text="MyCommand"  HeaderText="MyCommandCol"  CommandName="MyCommand"  ></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

CS:

  protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "MyCommand")
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string strName = item["ProductName"].Text;
            string strID = item["SupplierID"].Text;
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.
