Forms Data Controls :: Gridview's Dropdownlist Control Become A Textbox In Edit Mode
Jun 17, 2010
This is my first post on this forum. I have a Gridview with the following Columns
1. Edit Column
2. User_ID (Read Only)
3. Email (Read Only)
4. Role ( A Dropdownlist with 2 list Items namely "Admin" & "QA Lead")
I have used wizard to populate a "Gridview" and the embedded "Dropdownlist" control in it. This is my reference: [URL] My Problem: The Data populates perfectly in Grid and Dropdownlist. But, when I Press "Edit" button the Dropdownlist goes into edit mode in the form of a "Texbox". (i dont want this) I still want it to be an editable dropdownlist.
I have gridview that has month as a column. When the user clicks a row's edit button, that row goes into edit mode. I have created a drop-down list for month in edit mode with the values 1-12. Right now, the drop-down list shows 1. I would like it to show the current value for that row. How do I do this? Here's the code for my gridview:
I have a Gridview showing the MemberLastName, MemberFirstName, MemberBirthYear, MemberGender, MemberRelationship.
During Edit mode, I have managed to display a DropDownList for the Relationships.What I am trying to achieve now, is that, based on the Gender of the member I would like to limit the items in the Relationships dropdownlist.
e.g if the Gender is Male, then only display Male Relationships
What is the best way to achieve this scenario?Here is my snippet of code for the event. The code is commented out as it throws an exception.
In my gridview, I have a column for Amount. I want to calculate the amount as soon as user changes the Amount and display calculated Amount in a textfield. What I have done is I have Amount as Templatefield and have set Autopostback = true. In the event handler for textChanged I have function for calculate Amount which will calculate the amount and set the calculated value in a textbox. But I am getting an error message:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] UpdateInvoice.calculateamt() +87 UpdateInvoice.txtAmt_TextChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) +5 System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox.OnTextChanged(EventArgs e) +8739438 System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox.RaisePostDataChangedEvent() +55 System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox.System.Web.UI.IPostBackDataHandler.RaisePostDataChangedEvent() +10 System.Web.UI.Page.RaiseChangedEvents() +165
I have a gridview that I would like to the set the textbox in edit mode to multi line in order to show more of the content of the cell. Does anyone know how to change this property, I have tried (I think) every single one I could find in the Gridview property settings for editstyle, item style, row style etc.
I am working with VWD Express and Visual Basic. take this into consideration if you are willing to answer my question. I do have the following code for a GridView.
As you can see the second cell in each row is a EditButton, and the only cell that could be updated by users is the last one, DataField = TUDTIThreadActualStatus. I just want to know what could be the easiest way to validate the user entry when the row is in edit mode. Is there anyway to validate the textbox control with a validation control or is better to used code behind. Either way may you explain and drop some code if posible.
Is it possible to set the width of the textbox in edit mode equal to the width of the column before entering edit mode? I basically want to go into edit mode without change the size of the grid and without just setting the textbox width property to a specific number.
I am simply trying to get a querystring value and pass it to a textbox in a formview with the default view set to edit mode.
Protected Sub fv_Detach_Engine_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles fv_Detach_Engine.DataBound If fv_Detach_Engine.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit Then Dim tbx_IDProfileAccount As TextBox = TryCast(fv_Detach_Engine.FindControl("tbx_IDProfileAccount"), TextBox) If tbx_IDProfileAccount Is Nothing Then tbx_IDProfileAccount.Text = Request.QueryString("IDProfileAccount") End If End If End Sub
Is it possible to access textbox text properties from codebehind when gridview is edit mode? for example I can access label's text properties on gridview row databound event.
[Code]....
So I do not like use Text='<%#Eval("ColumnName")%' this method. I want to manage textbox text properties dynamcily codebehind when click the edit button on gridview. When I clik the edit button these code blocks runs
[Code]....
but rowdatabound event fires again and couldn't find label control. It looks for textbox control to bind data but I can not manage this step.
In the example below I have set the control style to 'controlName' I want to use this class to define what my textbox looks like in edit mode. This works ok, so far so good. The Problem In a button event I add the class "validationError" to this textbox if the data is incorrect. When the grid gets rendered I expect to get 'controlName validationError as the class applied to the textbox. Unfortunately, it seems that the declarative statement overrides this and simply ends up as 'controlName' how I can intercept the application of the declarative class so that I get what I desire here?
I have a gridview with edit functionality and using the EditItemTemplate section. I am trying to set focus to a textbox when user selects the edit mode.
I have a DateTime Field in the database that only has the the date the time is all zeroes for each entry.
I have a gridview that displays the date only excep it edit mode. When the grid is in edit mode it also shows all the zeros for the the time. Is there way to not show the time in edit mode?
I'm trying to follow this article on cascading dropdown list in a GridView control in edit mode (except I'm using C#) [URL] I keep getting this error message "ProjectID is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table DefaultView."
I have a grid view with edit and save buttons when I click on edit it is letting me edit it and if I click on save it is lettingme save the data that I have edited.
The thing is after save is done it is showing the data in edit mode i.e <edit item template > mode I am still seeing the textboxes if I refresh the page then I am seeing it normally.
How can I stop the gridview to show edit mode after the save is done?
- I want to put multiple rows of a gridview into edit mode
- I have not found any easy method to accomplish this task. I found a way to programmatically put a gridview into edit mode, but in testing the code below it works for only 1 row at a time :
I'm trying to programatically populate some dropdownlists inside a formview in EDIT mode, like this below.
[Code]....
I orginally had this running as part of the pagelaod event, but I'm thinking that b/c the page loads first, it doesn't populate the fields in EDIT mode until after the data is saved, and then page is reloaded. Now it knows it's in "Edit" mode. Am I thinking clearly here? Not sure if this is the order of things. So I thought I should just use a formview_modechanged (or similar event) so when the user switches modes, it populates the fields - but I'm not sure which event I should use. I've tried "Modechanging", "modechanged", "prerender", etc, but with no luck. Here's my new code... not sure what's up? Is it simply I've got the wrong formview event? Or am i missing something? Is there an easier/better way to accomplish this?
how to bind drop downlist in gridview edit mode, and BIND THE DROP DOWN LIST WITH FROM THE DATA BASE VALUE, and how to handle dropdownlist values for query update,
one more issue,how to add the ROW from grid view, with button click( i want to place button only in footer )
I have some template columns that have multiple textboxes in them.
There is one textbox for the Date portion of a datetime field and another textbox for the Time portion of the datetime field.
How do I populate those textboxes after the user clicks on the "Edit" button?
My assumption was I could get the data from the label that was displaying the datetime field data, break it down into Date and Time, and then access the textboxes.text property to fill those.
I can get the data from the label control, but when trying to fill the two textboxes with the data, I get Object Reference Not Set... errors.
Im assuming maybe those textboxes are not setup yet during the RowEditing Event?
