Missing ComboBox on Grid Item Edit

I new to telerik and fighting my way up the learning curve.
I have a RadGrid that I'm populating with a linq query. I'm using a
GridTemplateColumn with a ComboBox for new and edit of one of the fields. The problem is the ComboBox doesn't show on the insert or edit screen. The fields set as GridDropDownColumn do show on the insert or edit. I need GridTemplateColumn solution because I need to run some code once the dropdown list has been selected.
What am I missing here? I'm trying to work from a Telerik example. It's the Release field that is giving me the problem.

I think your having trouble with the ComboBox because you have EnableLoadOnDemand=true but you have not subscribed to the ItemsRequested event. See Load On Demand Overview for details.
Since you mention your new to the controls, you might want to get the ComboBox LoadOnDemand working outside of the grid first.

Try removing the telerik namespace/prefix from the EditItemTemplate declaration:
Change this:
<telerik:EditItemTemplate>
<%-- RadComboBox --%>
</telerik:EditItemTemplate>
To this:
<EditItemTemplate>
<%-- RadComboBox --%>
</EditItemTemplate>
Also, please share with us which documentation were you following so that we can double check and report the documentation error.

RadGrid - get textbox in edit mode

I have an issue working with the telerik radgrid control. I am trying to use javascript to access a textbox when the grid is in edit mode.
My code looks like the following:
<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" GridLines="None" runat="server" AllowAutomaticDeletes="True"
AllowSorting="False" AllowAutomaticInserts="True" PageSize="10" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True"
OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" AllowMultiRowEdit="False" AllowPaging="False"
DataSourceID="DataSource1" OnItemUpdated="RadGrid1_ItemUpdated" AllowFilteringByColumn="False"
OnItemDeleted="RadGrid1_ItemDeleted" OnItemInserted="RadGrid1_ItemInserted" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
OnDataBound="RadGrid1_DataBound">
<PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" />
<MasterTableView Width="100%" CommandItemDisplay="TopAndBottom" DataKeyNames="Id"
DataSourceID="DataSource1" HorizontalAlign="NotSet" EditMode="EditForms">
<Columns>
<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" UniqueName="EditCommandColumn">
<ItemStyle CssClass="MyImageButton" />
</telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
<telerik:GridButtonColumn ConfirmText="Delete this product?" ConfirmDialogType="RadWindow"
ConfirmTitle="Delete" ButtonType="ImageButton" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete"
UniqueName="DeleteColumn">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" CssClass="MyImageButton" />
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Id" HeaderText="Id" Display="false" ReadOnly="true" />
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Manufacturer" HeaderText="Manufacturer" />
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" />
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Configuration" HeaderText="Configuration" />
<telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="TypeId" HeaderText="Type" UniqueName="PartsType"
DataSourceID="PartsTypeDataSource" ListTextField="Name" ListValueField="Id" />
What I am after is that, during edit mode, when the user selects a certain value from the dropdown list 'PartsType', one of the other fields - eg 'Manufacturer' will be shown/hide.
I could get the dropdown value (in javascript) by attaching a javascript function to the dropdownlist:
function PartsTypeIndexChanged(sender, args) {
var selectedValue = args.get_item()._text;
}
I just dont know which method to use to get the 'Manufacturer' field, so I can show/hide it.
Could anyone please help?
Many thanks.

A possible approach could be to use RadControls client-side static API
$telerik.findElement(gridDOMElement, "Manufacturer");
This will help you access the column editor - I suppose it is ASP.NET TextBox rendered as input. For numeric or date columns the editor will probably be Telerik client component so you have to use findControl instead of findElement.

Good luck

Get selected Index in gridview by clicking on button

I have grid view and there is a template field in it and i want to get the selected row's index by clicking on button i cant change the field type cause i want to change the visibale attribute in my behind code manually.
Here is my code:
<asp:GridView ID="gvService" runat="server" BackColor="White" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" GridLines="Vertical" DataKeyNames="Service_Id, UserId">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#DCDCDC" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" HeaderStyle-BackColor="Gray">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="Gray"></HeaderStyle>
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="L_Name" HeaderText="LastName" SortExpression="L_Name"
HeaderStyle-BackColor="Gray">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="Gray"></HeaderStyle>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="bttCost" runat="server" Text="Cost" OnCommand="Cmd_Pay" Visible='<%# IsNotPaid((Decimal)Eval("Cost")) %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
and my behind code:
int rowIndex = gvService.SelectedIndex;
HFServiceID.Value = (string)gvService.DataKeys[rowIndex]["Service_Id"];
HFUserID.Value = (string)gvService.DataKeys[rowIndex]["UserId"];

To get the row index the button that was clicked belongs to, add this in your onclick event.
var rowIndex = ((GridViewRow)((Control)sender).NamingContainer).RowIndex;

change Width Gridview While containing 100 words;

HTML
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" GridLines="Vertical" Width="825px" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="LinqDataSource1">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="Title" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Body" HeaderText="Body" ReadOnly="True" ItemStyleWidth="1"
SortExpression="Body"></asp:BoundField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource1" runat="server"
ContextTypeName="DataClassesDataContext"
Select="new (Title, Body)" TableName="PrivateMessages">
</asp:LinqDataSource>
Code
GridView1.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Width = 1;
i would like Fixed Columns[1].width=1 ; While Body containing 100 words;
This Code Does Not Change Width Gridview?

It's not necessary to change the GridView with drag and drop. You have to just select its edges and you can change it.

ASP.NET/GridView: Using only a subset of the data fields in the table

I have a list of objects called Activity and I want to display the date, type and notes for each and every one of these activities. This is the code I'm using.
<asp:GridView ID="gvTable" runat="server" AllowSorting="true" ShowHeader="true">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ActivityDate" HeaderText="Date"
HeaderStyle-CssClass="date" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ActivityType" HeaderText="Type" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ActivityNotes" HeaderText="Notes" />
</Columns>
<PagerSettings Position="Bottom" Mode="NextPrevious" PageButtonCount="5"
PreviousPageText="Older activities" NextPageText="Newer activities" />
</asp:GridView>
However, all of the attributes of each object is displayed in the header. How can I force it to display only the columns that I want to use?

gvTable.AutoGenerateColumns = false
or
<asp:GridView ID="gvTable" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowSorting="true" ShowHeader="true">
should do the trick.

Set the attribute on your gridview:
AutoGenerateColumns="false"

You need to set the AutoGenerateColumns property on the grid to false.

Have you tried AutoGenerateColumns="false" in the gridview?
