Conditionally Showing DropDown List in DataGrid

[msrahul]

HI ALL
Plz Help Me.
I have a datagrid with a few colums. One column is conaining 1's or 0's.
Its like a flag column. It either has 0 or 1. Now what i need is that if any row has 1 in this column than another column named "Status" (of that row) should have a dropdown list conatining 4 items.
This column can have values Checked,NotChec ked,InProcess,P ending in the rows for which the flag column has 0's. But when the Flag value is 1 then this column should have a drop down list in that paricular cell (with Checked,NotChec ked,InProcess,P ending as the items)
plz note That I DONT WANT ANY EDIT or SELECT BUTTON IN ANY ROW.
I mean the dropdown should appear automatically and not by pressing of any button..
ITS URGENT. PLZ HELP ANYBODY

You are going to need to loop through the rows of your datagrid and determine whether you need to show a label or a drop down list in the Status column. Here is how to do it.

 for(int i = 0; i < datagrid.Items.Count; i++) 
{
ddl = (DropDownList)datagrid.Items[i].FindControl("ddlStatus");
ddl.DataSource = dataset;
ddl.DataTextField = "status_description";
ddl.DataValueField = "status_description_id";
ddl.DataBind();
 
lbl = (Label)datagrid.Items[i].FindControl("lblStatus");
lbl.Visible = true;
 
if(datagrid.Items[i].Cells[3].Text == "1") 
//3 would be the column number of the Status column
{
lbl.Visible = false;
}
else
{
ddl.Visible = false;
}
}

Hopefully this helps you. If you have another specific question after trying this code let me know.

<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="lblWithDrp " runat="server" Visible = <%#Convert.ToIn t32(DataBinder. Eval(Container. DataItem,"Hidde nColumn"))==0%> Text ="LABEL"> </asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="drpInGv" runat="server" Visible = <%#Convert.ToIn t32(DataBinder. Eval(Container. DataItem,"Hidde nColumn"))==1%>

</asp:DropDownLis t>
