Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormSettings

Settings for the edit forms generated by a Telerik.Web.UI.GridTableView for each item that is in edit mode and the P:Telerik.Web.UI.GridTableView.EditMode is set to F:Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditMode.EditForms .

Remarks

Set the type of the EditForm using P:Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormSettings.EditFormType . If the type is F:Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormType.AutoGenerated then the form will be autogenerated based on the columns of the corresponding table view. Note that only the columns that are editable wil be included. Those are the standatrd columns that have editing capabilities - such Telerik.Web.UI.GridBoundColumn that has P:Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditableColumn.ReadOnly set to false. All the style properties apply only to the autogenerated edit form. See Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormType for more details on the types of the edit forms.

Remarks

You have two options regarding the implementation of the web user control depending on the desired mode of exchanging data between Telerik RadGrid and the UserControl instances. As the binding container of the edit form is a GridEditFormItem and UserControl is a binding container iteself too, in order to access data from the object currently the edit form is binding to the binding-expressions used in the UserControl should be implemented in a slightly different then the traditional way. Here is an example of declaration of a TextBox server control that should be bound to the Region property of the DataItem in RadGrid:

         <asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "Parent.BindingContainer.DataItem.Region") %>;' />
         
         The container object is always the UserControl isself. That is why you should refer the parent
         object, which is actually a edit for table cell in the grid's . Then
         the BindingContainer would refer the binding GridEditFormItem instance.
        
         If using this kind of expression seems in some way uncorfotable, you have another option.
         You user control should implement a property with name DataItem. The type of the propertry
         should be public and assignable from the type of the object that construct the data-source for RadGrid.
         For example if you bind to a DataSet then the DataItem can be declared as:
         c#:
         
        
         private DataRowView _dataItem = null;
        
            public DataRowView DataItem
            {
                get
                {
                    return this._dataItem;
                }
                set
                {
                    this._dataItem = value;
                }
         }
         
        
         VB.NET
         
         private _dataItem As DataRowView = Nothing
        
            Public Property DataItem As DataRowView
                Get
                    Return Me._dataItem
                End Get
                Set (ByVal value As DataRowView)
                    Me._dataItem = value
                End Set
         End Property
         
        
         DataItem can also be declared as of type object.
        
         Then in the usercontrol code, an expression binding the text of a TextBox control
         to the Country property of the datasource item can be declared this way:
         
         <asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.Country"  ) %>'>
         </asp:TextBox>
