[Solved] Selecting which Edit Template controls to show programmatically

[Tim]

Hi

I am working on a grid that allows for in-line editting and I'm using edit templates.

I have a couple of columns that are inter-related.

The first column allows the user to pick from one of three choices when in edit mode,

No Sort, Sort Ascending, or Sort Descending. I am using a ComboBox in this column's ItemTemplate.

The second column allows the user to determine the sort precidence, 1, 2, 3, etc.
For this column I am using a NumericTextBox with SpinUp and SpinDown buttons.

If the first column has 'No Sort' as its value I would like to prevent the Edit Control for the second
column from appearing when I put the row into edit mode.

I have managed to create some client-side code that hides and shows the NumericTextBox and its spin buttons
and I invoke this code on a selection change in the first column's ComboBox. This works acceptably.

However I have been unable to come up with a method for not showing the NumericEditControl when
I put the row into edit mode.

Any ideas on how to do this with client, or server side could wold be a great help.

Hello Tim,

In order to implement the desired functionality, I recommend that you handle the ItemDataBound event and if the item is the edit form, check the value of the first columns and hide the numeric text box, if necessary.
Please examine the following resources for additional information:

I hope this helps.
