How to create ItemTemplates programatically in GridgroupingControl?

Please refer the below steps involved to create ItemTemplates programatically:

• In QueryCellStyleInfo event an instance for the TemplateClass of that particular item should be created and assigned it to the EditItemTemplate of that column.

C#

protected void GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)

{

//Look for the RecordField and AlternateField Cell.

if (e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell || e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell)

{

//Look for the Column Name "Column2" in the GridGroupingControl when it get rendered

if (e.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name == "Column2")

{

Syncfusion.Web.UI.WebControls.Shared.DropDownCalendarControl dropdown = new DropDownCalendarControl();

dropdown.ClientObjectId = "ddcal";

dropdown.CustomFormat="MM/dd/yy";

dropdown.Format = DateTimeFormatType.CustomString;

dropdown.Attributes.Add("onclick", "fun1(this);");

//Response.Write(dropdown.MinValue.Year.ToString());

dropdown.AutoPostBack = true;

//Here we adding the DropDownListBox programatically using ITemplate Interface

TemplateClass mytemp = new TemplateClass(dropdown);

e.TableCellIdentity.Column.EditItemTemplate = mytemp;

}

}

}

VB

Protected Sub GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs)

'Look for the RecordField and AlternateField Cell.

If e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType = GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell OrElse e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType = GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell Then

'Look for the Column Name "Column2" in the GridGroupingControl when it get rendered

If e.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name = "Column2" Then

Dim dropdown As Syncfusion.Web.UI.WebControls.Shared.DropDownCalendarControl = New DropDownCalendarControl()

dropdown.ClientObjectId = "ddcal"

dropdown.CustomFormat="MM/dd/yy"

dropdown.Format = DateTimeFormatType.CustomString

dropdown.Attributes.Add("onclick", "fun1(this);")

'Response.Write(dropdown.MinValue.Year.ToString());

dropdown.AutoPostBack = True

'Here we adding the DropDownListBox programatically using ITemplate Interface

Dim mytemp As TemplateClass = New TemplateClass(dropdown)

e.TableCellIdentity.Column.EditItemTemplate = mytemp

End If

End If

End Sub

• Define the TemplateClass which is inherited from ITemplate. Please refer the below code snippet which illustrates this:

C#

public class TemplateClass : ITemplate

{

private Control m_ctrlChildControl = null;

public TemplateClass(Control ctrlChildControl)

{

m_ctrlChildControl = ctrlChildControl;

}

public void InstantiateIn(Control container)

{

container.Controls.Add(m_ctrlChildControl);

}

}

VB

Public Class TemplateClass : Implements ITemplate

Private m_ctrlChildControl As Control = Nothing

Public Sub New(ByVal ctrlChildControl As Control)

m_ctrlChildControl = ctrlChildControl

End Sub

Public Sub InstantiateIn(ByVal container As Control) Implements ITemplate.InstantiateIn

container.Controls.Add(m_ctrlChildControl)

End Sub

End Class
