How to hide an invisible column in EditForm or PopUp

Hello Orlando,

In order to hide a column in EditForm/PopUp edit mode, set the column's ReadOnly propert as true.

ASPX:

I understand to set readonly = true will make it 'hidden' in popup forms.

but, the situation is that the hidden field is actually a foreign key fields that gets filled in ItemCommand (see code below), when it's set to visible=false, it works well in InPlace Edit mode, but when it's set to visible=false, ReadOnly=true, and use Popup mode, to save a new record will generate key error, it looks like the value has not been assigned.  How shall I handle this?

* HotelID is the foreign key of the RadGrid table, it shall be hidden in all edit mode, and is assigned in the following code.
 
  protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {          
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
            {
             
                e.Canceled = true;            
                newValues["HotelID"] = Session["HotelID"];
                //Insert the item and rebind
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.InsertItem(newValues);
            }
  }

Hello Orlando,

 Give a try with hiding the control only in edit mode, instead of setting the ReadOnly property.

C#:

This works great!

But why do I need,

 && !(e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem)?

Hello Orlando,

The above code is for hiding the control only in edit mode. So the conidtion (! e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem) is for not executing that code when the grid is in insert mode.

Thanks,
