Set the Default Editing Mode in RadGrid

[Martin]

This is probably very elementary question but I'm just starting using Telerik RadGrid and while it was very easy to deploy and setup, I'm having a problem to set the grid not to open the edit form the first time it loads. The form always opens up with the first record already in editing mode (file 1), while what I want to set it to is to display the data first and let the end user click on Edit when necessary (file 2). Thanks for any assistance I could get.

Hello,

By using below code snippet you can set default editing mode.

<MasterTableView EditMode="EditForms">

Hi,

By default the first row will not be opened when the page loads. You can set different edit modes based on your requirement. Check the following help documentation for more.

Maybe I wasn't clear with my question. I chose the EditMode as EditForms. It's just the default, it still opens the Edit Form on the first record. I'm sure this is just a flag somewhere that I need to set. I'm just following the example from
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/templateformupdate/defaultcs.aspx

And here's what I have:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" CellSpacing="0"
    DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" GridLines="None"
    AutoGenerateEditColumn="False"
    AllowPaging="true" PageSize="20" AllowSorting="true"
    AutoGenerateColumns="false" ShowStatusBar="true"
    AllowAutomaticInserts="true" AllowAutomaticUpdates="true"
    OnItemUpdated="RadGrid1_ItemUpdated"
    OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand" OnPreRender="RadGrid1_PreRender" >

    <MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataKeyNames="OrderId" CommandItemDisplay="None" EditMode="EditForms">
      <Columns>
        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn></telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
        <telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="OrderId" HeaderText="Order #" DataField="OrderId"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        <telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="NewSerNo" HeaderText="New S/N" DataField="NewSerNo"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        <telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="Completed" HeaderText="Complete?" DataField="Completed"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
      </Columns>

I finally found the culprit. Just by copying blindly the example, I put RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Add(0);  in the PreRender. After commenting it out, it fixed the issue:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (!Page.IsPostBack)
   {
     //RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Add(0);
     RadGrid1.Rebind();
   }
}
