How to dynamically enable/disable row editing in GridView control (ASP.NET 2.0) ?

[misiek]

Hi all.

I would like to know if it is possible to dynamically enable/disable
row editing in GridView control in ASP.NET 2.0. I am asking because
this feature should be enabled/disable depending on button, which was
clicked by user.

Thanks in advance,
misiek

Misiek,

You can put a row in edit mode with:

GridView1.EditIndex

EditIndex gets or sets the row to edit.

Justin, I know that.

What I meant was not to enable editing of certain row in GridView, but
enabling/disabling Edit button, which is used for editing.
I use standard Edit button from designer. I would like it to be visible
only in certain circumstances.

Do you know how it can be done?

There are a number of ways to do this. If you just want to remove the
button from a row, you can use:

row.Cells[0].Controls.Clear();

Assuming that your edit button is in the first column. You can also
convert it to a TemplateColumn and hide it like you would any control
in a grid.

Thanks carl.

I did it in such way: GridViewPI.Columns[1].Visible = false;

Thanks carl.

I did it in such way: GridViewPI.Columns[1].Visible = false;

You can do run time using rowbound event for hole row:

e.Row.Enabled = False
