Forms Data Controls :: How To Fill Unbound Textbox With Data When Going Into Edit Mode
Feb 2, 2010
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?
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 have string taskID[texbox],string projectID[texbox],,string description[texbox],,int totalHrs[texbox],,int billableYN[CheckBox],int activeYN[CheckBox]
outside the grid view .
I have gridview with edit button with bound columns taskID,projectID,description,totalHrs,billableYN,activeYN.
I want when i click on edit button this taskID,projectID,description,totalHrs,billableYN,activeYN should populate outside the grid view on string taskID[texbox],string projectID[texbox],,string description[texbox],,int totalHrs[texbox],,int billableYN[CheckBox],int activeYN[CheckBox]
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.
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.
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
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 use a gridview to show data from datasource, but i have some column in this gridview that they're not bound. If i go in edit mode, my unbound control show me the textbox to enter value and its ok, but if i modify value thru rowdatabound, now when i go in edit mode, the textbox are not showing as i expect, its just showing the value i put in rowdatabound, but i don't have the textbox to let me enter a new value and update it after.
And more in the same relation: with the two above condition i wrote, when i dont modify value in rowdatabound, i can modify value in prerender event with this line:
TextBox box1 = this.GridView1.Rows[this.GridView1.EditIndex].FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox; box1.Text = "a value" ; but
when again i modify value in rowdatabound, the line above will not work too, box1 is load with a null value
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 have a page where I have a tab container and four tabs. the problem is on the first tab "manage quote request" I have a Gridview with the quote request general informatin listed and have a template field created with a link button to databind to the formview quote details. the porblem comes in when after I click on the select linkbutton. the Formview loads right. Then Whe I try to click on the edit linkbuttin in the form view I have to click it twice to change the mode to edit.
I have a Gridview that handles double clicks. On a double click, the selected row goes into Edit mode, which means in my case that edit controls (textboxes, checkboxes and dropdown lists) become visible, and display controls (labels) become invisible. On Page_Load the values in edit controls get saved. Now my question is this: how can I get out of the edit mode if I don't want to save? Can I e.g. handle Escape key? BTW, I use C#.
This is what i have using VS and VB: formview that is bound to a sqldatasource. In the formview i set up three panels and the visibilty is controlled by three buttons. I want to be able to click the edit link button and have the panel that is visible in readonly mode be the one visible in editmode
Even though I searched for a similar posting (and couldn't find it), I am certain that someone must have raised this question in the past.
I am relatively new to the .net world and I am using VS2010/SQL Server 2008. I can't seem to find the problem, but when I click on the "edit" button I get a postback but I get the ItemTemplate again.
The item "Active" is a bit from the database And for the RowDataBound:
Const HeavyCheckMark As Char = ChrW(&H2714) For Each row As GridViewRow In gvProductCodes.Rows If gvProductCodes.EditIndex = -1 Then ' Selects the text from the Label which is inside the GridView control Dim lblActive As String = CType(row.FindControl("lblActive"), Label).Text lblActive = lblActive.Replace("True", HeavyCheckMark) lblActive = lblActive.Replace("False", "") 'Replaces the text in each Label control CType(row.FindControl("lblActive"), Label).Text = lblActive Else Dim chkbx As CheckBox = CType(row.FindControl("chkbxActive"), CheckBox) End If
The check mark works fine when not in edit mode. But when in edit mode, the row that is being edited works as expected. But the other rows now show True or False. I want them to have the const HeavyCheckMark in it instead.
I created a sample gridview. However, when I clicked edit mode in one of selected row, it will run away. I need to use the mouse scroll up and down to find that row. As well, once finished the edit (clicked update button), it will run away again. I also need to find the editted row by using the mouse. How do I fix the position? Furthermore, I also want to fix the header. If I scroll down, the header row will be on the top where ever I scroll to.
