set the properties of a Textbox in an EditItemTemplate

Feb 23, 2017 05:03 PM|NewKid1nTown|LINK

I have Gridview. In the Gridview I have a TemplateField that has an EditItemTemplate with a Textbox in it. The Gridview also has a CommandField with ShowEditButton set to true.

As you might expect from this brief description, when the user hits the Edit button on a row, the row goes into an edit mode and the Textbox shows up and the user is able to edit the value.

Here is my question. How can I set the properties of the Textbox? For example, depending on certain conditions, I want to disable the Textbox so that the user can not edit the existing value. I think the first thing I need to know is what is the Event on the Gridview that I need to write the code in?

Maybe someone will be better than me on finding a specific example.

You can use the Gridview rowediting event and then find the row which is in editmode. From the row you can find the textbox control and disable it

/// <summary>
        /// Handles the RowEditing event of the GridView1 control.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="sender">The source of the event.</param>
        /// <param name="e">The <see cref="System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs"/> instance containing the event data.</param>
        protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
        {
            //Set the edit index in gridview
            GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
            //calling the method to bind grid with data again
            GetCustomerDetails();
            //Provide your condition here
            if("your condition is true")
            {
                //Here you can find the textbox control which you want to disable
                //change textbox id here
                TextBox txtbox = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].FindControl("TextBox1");
                txtbox.Enabled=false;
            }

        }

Hi NewKid1nTown,

According to your description, I make a sample, I think you could add condition to judge, then disable the control. Here is the complete sample code:

I judge the textbox1 value, if textbox1 value equal to "234", then disable textbox2, this will disable edit of textbox2.

Sample Code:

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" OnRowEditing="GridView1_RowEditing" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
                <Columns>
                    <asp:TemplateField>
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Label1") %>'></asp:TextBox>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </asp:TemplateField>
                    <asp:TemplateField>
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Label2") %>'></asp:TextBox>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </asp:TemplateField>
                    <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" />
                </Columns>
            </asp:GridView>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataTable table = new DataTable();
            table.Columns.Add("Label1", typeof(string));
            table.Columns.Add("Label2", typeof(string));
            table.Rows.Add("234", "3232");
            GridView1.DataSource = table;
            GridView1.DataBind();
        }

        protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
        {
            GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
            TextBox txtbox = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].FindControl("TextBox1");
            TextBox newtxtbox = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].FindControl("TextBox2");
            string value = txtbox.Text;
            if (value == "234")
            {
                newtxtbox.Enabled = false;
            }
        }

Result:

Best Regards,
