Show errormessages in caption of editform

[BOS]

I'm looking for a way to place errormessages in the caption of the editform (in grid with editmode = popup)

I've tryed this:

protected void Grid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    string errorMess = "";
    // followed by a lot of tests on the typed values ...

    if (errorMess != "")
    {
        e.Canceled = true;
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = errorMess;
    }
}

but I have to click the insert-button twice, before the text showes up in the caption.
Any ideas on how to avoid having to click twice?

Btw. I can't place the errormessages as added literalcontrol to the cancel-button - this is used for some other info :o)

Hello BOS,

Since you cancel the InsertCommand the grid would not rebind itself and that is why the message does not appear. Have you tried whether rebinding the grid rectifies the problem:

protected void Grid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    string errorMess = "";
    // followed by a lot of tests on the typed values ...

    if (errorMess != "")
    {
        e.Canceled = true;
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.CaptionFormatString = errorMess;
        (source as RadGrid).Rebind();
    }
}

I hope this helps,
