Can you give an example of how to do this (hide a control in teh InitializeRow event)?

I have the following code in my aspx page:


<ig:TemplateDataField Key="Nbr_of_Claims_Sent" Width="11%">
 <ItemTemplate>
  <asp:HyperLink ID="linkNbr_of_Claims_Sent" runat="server" NavigateUrl="abc.aspx" Text='<%# Eval("Nbr_of_Claims_Sent")%>' ForeColor="Blue"></asp:HyperLink>
  <asp:Label ID="lblNbr_of_Claims_Sent" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Nbr_of_Claims_Sent")%>'></asp:Label>
 </ItemTemplate>
 <Header Text="Nbr of Claims Sent" />
</ig:TemplateDataField>

In the InitializeRow event, I want to display the link if the value of the column X = "Y" and I want to display the label of the value of the column X = "N".

Or if you want to do as much as possible in the designer, you can put all needed controls in the template and hide all but one in the InitializeRow handler.

Hello,

I believe you can achieve that using templated columns. In a templated column you can have any content - for example you can start with just a placeholder and then add controls there programmatically in the InitializeRow event. For example:

<igtbl:TemplatedColumn>
    <CellTemplate>
        <asp:placeholder runat="server" ID="Placeholder1'>                        
    </CellTemplate>
</igtbl:TemplatedColumn>

and  then in InitializeRow, you can do something similar to this (pseudo code, just for reference)

TemplatedColumn col = (TemplatedColumn)e.Row.Cells.FromKey("SomeKey").Column;
CellItem ci = (CellItem)col.CellItems[e.Row.Index];
Placeholder placeholder = (Placeholder) ci.FindControl("placeHolder1"); 

if (e.Row.Index == 1)
    placeholder.Controls.Add(new Label("Some Text 1"));
else
    placeholder.Controls.Add(new TextBox("Some Text 2"));

Hi

Thanks for your reply....  I want to have a combobox in the first row of a column and all other values in that column will be text.

Is there any other work around to achive this?

Can i set the style propery of a particular cell to dropdown cell type?
