Im having in issue using a hierarchy grid. In my GridTableView I have a CommandItemTemplate with an InitInsert CommantItem that works perfectly when there is data in the DetailTable and the header is showing. The problem is that I also have ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords = False for that same GridTableView.
When there is no data, it hides the headers like it should but it also hides the CommandItemTemplate so that no records can be added. This also happens when I'm using the default CommandItem instead of a CommandItemTemplate.
Is there anyway to get the CommandItemTemplate to show if there is not data, but still hide the headers? Here is a sample of my code...

| <CommandItemTemplate> |
| <asp:LinkButton ID="btnAddNew" runat="server" CommandName="InitInsert" Text="Add New Record" CssClass="gridLink" /> |
| </CommandItemTemplate> |

Hello Chad,
Unfortunately this is not possible because the command item is part of the table header and will not be rendered when you have no items in a nested table and choose ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords = false. You should either set ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords = true or trigger an insert action from the parent table as demonstrated in this code library entry:

Hello!
I was wondering if it is still not possible to do what Chad intended to... I have the same requirement for a detailTable: I would like to hide the column headers (in the case there are no records) but show the commandItem, so that the user can click the New Record button.
Could you please consider changing the ShowHeaders property?
My suggestion would be to change from the True/False values to an enumeration:
Thanks in advance and have a great year!

My suggestion would be to change from the True/False values to an enumeration:
- None
- CommandItemOnly
- ColumnHeadersOnly
- All
Thanks in advance and have a great year!

Hello Ricardo,
Currently is still not possible to hide the column headers but show the CommandItem.
Additionally in your scenario you could add a different button which is placed out of the GridTableView and show this button when the details table does not have any items. When user click on this button you could show Add Form.
Another approach is to use javascript or jQuery and remove the table's row which represent GridTableView header. When the GridTableView is rendered the header and the CommandItem are placed in thead tag. So you could get this tag and remove its first row from the DOM :
Also thank you for the suggestion - I will forward it to our development department to be considered further.
I hope this helps. If further questions arise, do let me know.

<thead><--Row for the header-><tr class="rgCommandRow"></tr> <--Row for the CommandItem--><tr></tr></thead>Also thank you for the suggestion - I will forward it to our development department to be considered further.
